Hi

We are using

cpio -ocv -C 2048 >/dev/rmt/0c 2> /data/backup/$BACKDATE

to dump the contents of our backup to tape.

I was wondering what the list command is to list the contents of what is on the tape?

Many Thanks!

Thiko!

Hi In order to restore an archive you would use the following commands:
Cpio:
cd <someplace to restore>
cpio -itcB </dev/st0

&quot;t&quot; is for table of content

Hope this help
