This is somewhat embarassing, but I was replacing one of my hard drives with a larger one this morning, so I backed up everything to my SCSI DAT drive with "tar cvf /dev/nst0 /fleminga".
When the new drive was in, a meant to restore the files (tar xvf), but I typed "tar cvf /dev/nst0 /fleminga/*" and it wrote a few files out to the tape drive, over top of the data I meant to restore. Since it only wrote out a few files, does anyone know if there is a way to retrieve the files off the tape that weren't overwritten? Cheers, - Jim (I still have the data on my old hard drive, so I'm not totally hosed - but then I'd have to re-install it)
