unTar a specific file from remote

[Shermaine Yvonne Tan]

During tar, the command used is
tar cvf - * | remsh [I]system_name[/I] dd of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=10k

To untar all, we used
remsh [I]system_name[/I] "dd if=/dev/rmt/0m ibs=10k" | tar xvf -

Question?
How to untar a specific file from remote?
Thanks alot...

Hi,
should be

remsh [I]system_name[/I] "dd if=/dev/rmt/0m ibs=10k" | tar xvf - FILENAME

from "man tar"
NAME

file specifies a file being saved or restored. If file is a

the subdirectories contained in that directory.

Hi


Just add the filename to your extract command as it was written on the tape

Ex

remsh [I]system_name[/I] "dd if=/dev/rmt/0m ibs=10k" | tar xvf - /home/mimi/.profile

Hi,
I think you can try with

remsh [I]system_name[/I] "dd if=/dev/rmt/0m ibs=10k" | tar xvf - file_name

where file_name is the name of the file you want to extract.
