unTar a specific file from remote
During tar, the command used is
tar cvf - * | remsh system_name dd of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=10k

To untar all, we used
remsh system_name "dd if=/dev/rmt/0m ibs=10k" | tar xvf -

Question?
How to untar a specific file from remote?
Thanks alot...

For guidance only:

Idea taken from the basement, one can't extract a single file out from a backup created thru tar command. Please consider ufsdump instead.

I believe it depends on your version of tar. Checking GNU tar, I could specify "tar xvf - path/to/myfile".
