bru command
I'm having trouble extracting files from a bru tape. The following are commands that I've tried and the respective outputs.


will.rlee 224> bru -vgf /dev/nrtape

user: root
group: sys
system: IRIX glovebox 4.0.5F 08280217 IP12
bru: "SGI Release 4.0.5D"
release: 9.11
variant: 1


will.rlee 226> bru -evtf /dev/nrtape
e 26k of 28k [1] ./kj
e 2k of 30k [1] ./GB1.bru
bru: 1 volume(s), 2 files, 16 archive blocks, 32 Kbytes
bru: warning - missing archive header block; starting at volume 1
bru: c => continue q => quit r => reload s => fork shell [default: q] >> q

What else can I try?

Did you check out the tutorials at tolisgroup.com?

You should be able to view them if you use IE 5 or 6.. they converted powerpoint presentations into html presentations, which looks funky in any other web browser.

From the tutorial:
Quote:
Restore The Entire Archive
To restore the entire archive to its original location:
bru -xvf /tmp/brutest.bru
This will restore the entire contents of the /tmp/brutest.bru to the original location - in this case /home/psmith.

Restore A Single File
To restore a file from an archive
bru -xvf /tmp/brutest.bru /home/psmith/customer1.doc
This will restore the file /home/psmith/customer1.doc from the archive file /tmp/brutest.bru
