Help with reading CPIO backups

[gogr]

Wondering if anyone could help


I have a set of backup tapes that I want to read from

The backups were done as follows


find /usr /bin -print | sort >> $LOGFILE
cat $LOGFILE | cpio -ovdum -C 2048 -K 2048000 -O /dev/rStp0


I would like to know how to read these tapes now .

Thanks

Hi,

You can use "cpio -itvC 2048 < /dev/rStp0" command to list content of tape without restoring them.

man cpio for more information.
