Question ufsrestore -i

Hi there,

I have a problem at the moment trying to restore a directory from a Super DLT tape with about 3 weeks worth of backups on it. I need to be able to get the last backup performed on this tape but using ufsrestore -i it only restores the first backup which is no good to me. There is no archive file associated with this tape. I am using ufsrestore -i to restore the files. My question is would there be any way I could specify the backup date I need from the tape using ufsrestore (or any other command) without the use of an archive file? The system is running Solaris version 8. Thanks for your help.
