not quite what I was after
the problem is that i dont have a test system so when i do this it will be restored into a live accounting database.
what about the following will it work?
cpio -iAcvBu -I </dev/nrStp0 ./data/accountdb/GL.AAREPORT

I think this will restore to the original directory...I need to restore to a different directory such as ./temp

any ideas?
