Hi,
Use either a graph file to specify a list of files/directories that you require or a combination of -i and -e (include and exclude).
Use the -X switch if you want to recover relative rather than to the absolute path. i always remeber -X as "Here".
example to recover a file /tmp/example to the same place
frecover -x -f /dev/rmt/1m -i /tmp/example
To make sure that you have the correct tape, you can recover the volume header with
frecover -V /tmp/volumeheader -f /dev/rmt/1m
You can recover an index from the tape with
frecover -I /tmp/index -f /dev/rmt/1m
Change the device name to reflect whatever yours is called.
Kind Regards
Clare
