I'm trying to recover my /etc directory from tape, so in accordance with docs/RESTORE, I'm doing this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# mt fsf 1 && dd if=/dev/tape bs=32k count=1 AMANDA: FILE 20050821 tony-lx /etc lev 0 comp .gz program /bin/gtar To restore, position tape at start of file and run: dd if=<tape> bs=32k skip=1 | /bin/gzip -dc | bin/gtar -f... - 1+0 records in 1+0 records out [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# dd if=/dev/tape bs=32k skip=1 | /bin/gzip -dc | /bin/gtar -xpvf - gzip: stdin: not in gzip format 2+0 records in 1+0 records out And, of course nothing in my restore/etc dir. I hope it's just my incompetence :( Any suggestions, please? -- Tony van der Hoff | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Buckinghamshire, England
