Restoring tape contents
Hi,
on a Linux pc I want to restore the contents of the DLT tape to /mnt directory,how to do it? If I just want to see the contents of the files, is it possible to read the contents directly from tape without restoring to hard disk? |
To list the tape contents, you can do:
Code:
cpio -itv -I /dev/st0 Code:
cpio -itv -I /dev/st0 Code:
cpio -icvmuld -I /dev/st0 |
Maybe the OP should first tell us what tool was used to write the files to the tape. That way it will be easier to determine what the right commands are to restore or list the tape entries. Although cpio is an possibillity, there also tar or amanda, backula, etc...
So g_ramesh please tell us what you used to write the data to the tape. _____________ Gerrard |

Hi all
I found out that it is not possible to read the contents of the files on tape without restoring on to Hard Disk. Also to restore to a particular dir, go to that dir and issue command " tar -xvf /dev/st0 " Thanks. |
