cpio command

[Weeglee]

i've used the cpio to take a filesystem backup :
"find /rep -xdev -print | cpio -ovC256 > /dev/rmt0"
how can i verify the content of the media?
i try with &quot;cpio -ivt < /dev/rmt0&quot;
but this error message appear :
&quot;cpio: 0511-037 Cannot read from the specified input.
Enter the device or file name when ready to continue.&quot;

Thanks

You've used C256 in your save. Try that in your read command, ie -itvC256.

HTH.
