Thanks a lot Joni
man tar can help with many of the options to tar. Basically: tar Mxvf /dev/st0 will restore files from tape. You can also specify which file(s) you want restored by suppling the parameter as the the last option: tar Mxvf /dev/st0 ./somefile The file spec must be exactly as it is on the tape which you list by: tar Mtvf /dev/st0 -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (6.2)
