The amanda on our system use 'gnutar' utility. The 'amdump' works. But, it doesn't save the absolute path. For example, when I ran 'amrestore -p /dev/nst0 cat02 | tar tvf -', I saw the following: -rw-rw-r-- root/bin 2368 1998-08-13 11:50:32 ./f52_tub.im8 -rw-rw-r-- root/bin 12944 1998-08-13 11:50:33 ./f52_tus.im8 -rw-rw-r-- root/bin 2720 1998-08-13 11:50:34 ./f53_tub.im8 ...
I want to see the absolute path like /usr/openwin/share/images/fish/f52_tub.im8 because this makes restore easier. The following is a entry in the file 'disklist': cat02 /usr/openwin/share/images/fish root-tar Thanks advanced! David
