I am only slightly versed in Unix and I'm looking for a quick solution to this: $ cpio -icvdum -C 63488 -I /dev/mtt3 /cadfiles/*.* This command works with copying data from tape drive device mtt3 to the c:\ drive. I would like the syntax to copy the files to my d:\drive. I tried the -O character but my placement seems to be wrong. Please help.
