Thank you all for your input. Unfortunately I couldn't try all the answers due to time constraints. One of you had the answer that worked. Use the full original path of the file that needs to be restored. cpio -iBv "/dir/subdir1/subdir2/BILLING.22" < /dev/rmt/0 When I get a chance, I'll try on a shorter tape the various options and report back with my findings. Thanks again! -----Original Message----- From: Jim Southerd Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 1:33 PM To: Sunmanagers (E-mail) Subject: What am I doing wrong? I'm trying to restore a certain file from a tape of a cpio arvhive. When I list the tape (cpio -iBtv < /dev/rmt/0 ) it shows up, but when I tried to retrieve it (cpio -iBv "BILLING.*" < /dev/rmt/0 ) non were restored. There are several BILLING jobs with numbers from 17 - 22, but non restored. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to specify the whole path of the file? If I do, and if I don't use the -d option will it restore the file in the current dir rather then the path it was backed up from? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
