Error How to recover a single file from tape
Hi
I have taken a backup using

/usr/sbin/ufsdump -0uf /dev/rmt/0n

I want to recover one file from it but finding it hard nut to crack.

Can you please give me a simple way of recovering it?

Thanks

You can run ufsrestore in interactive mode 'ufsrestore i' and select which file you want to restore.

Cheers,

Keith
