Hi,

How to copy a file (online.exp031204.tar.Z) from the tape drive /dev/rStp0

To answer that question you would need to know how the file was written to tape.

I follow the following procedure to write into tape.
#cd /onlinedbbk
#tar-cvf online.exp031204.tar online.exp
#compress -H online.exp031204.tar
# tar -cvf /dev/rStp0 online.exp031204.tar.Z

Thanks,

Mostafizur Rahman
