Hello Linux folkz, Could somebody enlighten me how to recover a single file from the tape without extraction of backed up directories. To create the tape archive I used: tar -c /dev/tapedrive /dir1 /dir2 .. and so on. I can list all backed up directories with tar -tvf. But how to recover a single file I don't know. Thank you in advance for any suggestion. Thanks. Alex
create a file, say, jj, where you write the files you want to extract. For example, /home/user/filefoo /etc/passwd then tar zxv -T jj -f tarredname.tar.gz Hope it helps... try it in a small scale problem!
