Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Copy file from a backup tape Post 302485861 by methyl on Thursday 6th of January 2011 10:37:44 AM

There are many products which run on AIX called "bru". Let's assume that is the old unix "bru" command.
Can you post the exact script containing the "bru" command which was used to produce the backup?
It is very important to know whether the backup contains absolute pathnames or relative pathnames.

SYNOPSIS
       quit [-help]

       q [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       backup kill command to terminate them as necessary.

OPTIONS
