Well, you could do a 'restore -t' on the tape and pipe the output to a file. You would have to reposition the tape and then run the restore on it. Then you might have to sort it to suit yourself. Lack of a good index feature is a major deficiency of dump/restore from my point of view. Also, I hope you do an occasional dump 0 and not all just dump 9. ////jerry > > please CC this to my email, as I am not subscribed to the list anymore.. > > thanx in advance. > > _______________________________________________ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
