Hi
I've a backup of my /var filesystem dumped to a Sony DAT.
(dump 0auf /dev/nrst0 /var)
Is it now possible to restore one single file from this tape?
I've tryed with interactive restore and then cd to the directory on wich
the file is. Then I added it to list,extracted it, but the file does not
recover on disk.
here is the interaction:
[spitfire]/var/log {169}: restore i
restore > cd log
restore > add lpd-errs
warning: ./log: File exists
restore > extract
You have not read any tapes yet.
Unless you know which volume your file(s) are on you should start
with the last volume and work towards towards the first.
Specify next volume #: 1
set owner/mode for '.'? [yn] y
restore > quit
