Haveing a problem restoring from my tape. I need to get the whole directory tree off of the tape and I'm only getting the files in the root directory; that I'm asking for; as well as the next directories in the tree, but they are empty.

I'm using:
dd if=/dev/rct0 conv=bmode bs=32k | cpio -iudvAC32768 /u/*

Which parameter am I missing???
 
Replace this!
/u/*
By this:
/u

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks PH
But that didn't work either. All that was created was the /u directory. This time it didn't even create the next level of directories.
 
Have you tried to remove the A option ?
