I don't remember the exact format for the command. I'm at another job site and don't have access to a SCO box here. I will get into a SCO box later ad confirm the commands. One thing you can do is get a listing ofthe tape to make sure the directories you want aer there.

run
cpio -ivt < /dev/rStp0 > /tmp/tape.list

-ivt willjust read the names off of the tape and te /tmp/tape.list is just a name for the file.

Once the file is created then vi the file and you should be able to search it for what you want. Another thing we need to check is the format. let me know if each line starts with ./ or with just a / this will be important during the restore.
