Backup Tape Restore?
I am trying to do a restore on a backup tape (DDS2) and am having a little trouble. For one, I dont know how the tape was made, whether is was tar, cpio, dump..etc. Anyone know how to restore a tape without knowing the format of the backup?

You cannot extract/restore data from a file/tape unless you know the format in which the backup was taken. Try using various utilities one by one to restore the tape.

not sure if this will work but...
------------------------------------- IDEA: You can use the fstyp command to find out what filesystem a device is. Example: # fstyp /dev/rdsk/<tape device> ufs You could also use a shell script like so to determine all devices in the /dev/rdsk directory: for i in /dev/rdsk/*; do echo “$i = $(fstyp $i 2>/dev/null)”; done ------------------------------------- Hope this helps!
