hi, you can.
Open a terminal and set your current directory
under a filesystem that can contain restored data:
(eg. /home/restore or /home/temp )
don't use /home ot /tmp as filesystem,
but if you have not,
create a scratch fs as /home/restore , mount it and cd there.
From there enter "smitty backsys" and choose
"Restore Files in a System Image"
Press F4 for the 1st field and choose the tape(eg /dev/rmt0)
Go in the 2nd field, press F1, and read doc.
Remeber that files/or directory must be entered in exact way:
no wildcards are allowed;
in backup archives, files are listed in the form:
./tmp
./tmp/myfile
.
Than, if you want restore /tmp from tape put ./tmp
If you want be sure of the format, before "Restore...",
you can use "List Files ..." ; leave run the command, then
you can see the output or on video, or at the tail of
/smit.log file
bye
