AIX, how to Restore ?

However, if you wish to "view" whats on the tape try this:
1. to find out what file(s) are on the tape try "tcopy /dev/rmt0" which will print the number and size of the files found. If there are three short 512 byte block files at the beginning then it is, in fact, a mksysb tape.
2. to view the contents try: "tctl -f/dev/rmt0 rewind" followed by "tctl -f/dev/rmt0.1 fsf 3" followed by "restore -Tqvf/dev/rmt0.1 | pg" and you will see a list of the files on the tape.
good luck.
