Hi,
when I run the command amrestore -p /dev/rmt/1n scuba /boot | tar -pxv on the tape server itself, I manage to restore the files however the files are restored in a new directory structure. A number of new directories are created and also the files loose permissions.
any idea how this can be solved?
If you run "tar -px..." as root, then the permissions are correct. Tar also extracts files into the current directory (not bad if you first want to check if what you have on tape is better than what is on disk).
If it is not these two problems, then you need to give more information.
