Restoration issue
Dear All,

I am using sun OS server and performing weekly backup on a tape DDS2 for log files for the past 7 days, the log file sizes are ranging between 1 - 2 G......When i want to restore a specific file from the tape, i have to restore the whole files from the tape by using the command (tar xvf device_name), because i dont know how to restore only that specific file.....is there a way to do that or it's going like this everywhere?

Thanks in advance for your support.....

You can restore one or more specific file from an tar archive by specifying the files as argument to the 'tar xf' command.
Code:
$ tar cvf save.tar Test
Test/
Test/123
Test/a11
Test/bob.txt
Test/john.txt
Test/lulu.txt
Test/toto.txt
$ tar tvf save.tar
