tar tvf from tape backeped using
Hi,
The scenario is as follow:
Backup was done using:
tar cvf /dev/rmt/0mn file1.ext
tar cvf /dev/rmt/0mn file2.ext
tar cvf /dev/rmt/0mn file3.ext
tar cvf /dev/rmt/0mn file4.ext
tar cvf /dev/rmt/0mn file5.ext
When I do; tar tvf /dev/rmt/0m,
it only gives me the first file on the tape ( I rewinded the tape
before issuing the command )
My question is; how do I list all the files in the tape, by using one command only? and also restore all files from tape by using one command only?
Thanks!!
