Hi Last week i made a backup of our mail server using tar. I used the following command:
tar cvMf /dev/st0 -g /tmp/backuped /var/spool/mail The whole thing went into 3 tapes. One of our users destroyed (a.k.a. deleted) all of his messages and now he want's them back. I know that his mailbox lives on the second tape so i tried to insert the second tape and issue the following command: tar xvf /dev/st0 /var/spool/mail/xxx It told me it couldn't find the file (but with tvf it finds it). So I tried to insert the first tape and then issue the following command: tar xvf /dev/st0 -g /tmp/backuped /var/spool/mail/xxx and it still tell's me that it can't find the file... Can anyone give me a hint on how to recover the damn file. Thanks -- Mario Filipe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://neptuno.sc.uevora.pt/~mjnf
