13.3.1 File-by-file restoring

Use cpio(1) or tar(1) to restore files from the backup tape to the disk.

For details about cpio(1) and tar(1), see the "Solaris X Reference Manual Collection".

The following describes an example of restoring from a tape.

• Method for restoring using cpio(1)

# cd /userdata <Enter>
# cpio -icdm < /dev/rmt/0 <Enter>

• Method for restoring using tar(1)

# cd /userdata <Enter>
# tar xvf /dev/rmt/0 <Enter>

Restoring from a backup tape must be performed using the same command that was used for backing-up.
