Haven't used it for a long time.&nbsp;&nbsp;But go back to basics. man cpio. that should give you enough to do it. <p>Ed Fair<br><a href=mailto: efair@atlnet.com> efair@atlnet.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply. <br>

The documentation was excellant reading.&nbsp;&nbsp;when I tried the&nbsp;&nbsp;backup, it took forever to read the file and never did anything.&nbsp;&nbsp;nothing to me indicated that it restored the file in question.&nbsp;&nbsp;I must be doing something wrong..&nbsp;&nbsp;Any suggestions.<br><br>Kathyc

Based on my mistakes (great way to learn) I generally assume that the problem will be in the naming/pathing of the file you want to restore. <br>Do you know what the command was to do the backup?&nbsp;&nbsp;What is the name/path of the file you want back out?<br> <p>Ed Fair<br><a href=mailto: efair@atlnet.com> efair@atlnet.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>Any advice I give is my best judgement based on my interpretation of the facts you supply. <br>
