Is it possible to restore a single file/directory from a savevg?
 
Hi!

Yes:

1.
tctl -f /dev/rmt0.1 fsf 3

Skip the first 3 filemarks and let the tape stay positioned
there.


2.
Now you can access the 4th filemark.
Use listvgbackup -r
or restorevgfiles

for restore. (How it works in detail, the "man" command
will explain.)

Oops...

What I described was the restore of a single file from
a mksysb-backup (the 4th filemark is a "savevg rootvg").

If your have "only" a savevg, you have to use

listvgbackup -s -r

"-s" means, that the saved volume group is a user volume group.

Hope, this help you.

bye
Rudi
