Restoring specific files from a CMSADM backup

To restore specific files from CMSADM backup tapes, enter the following commands at the system prompt (for example):

#cd /

#cpio -icmudv -C 10240 -I /dev/rmt/0c -M “Please remove the current tape, insert tape number %d, and press ENTER” <full_path_name>

(where <full_path_name> is the full path name of the file to be restored)

Note the device name in the example (/dev/rmt/0c). That name is usually correct. Some other device name may be required, however, depending upon the drive’s SCSI ID and compression capability. Tape device names are as follows:

/dev/rmt/0 The internal, noncompressing tape drive (14-GB, 8-mm drive) with the lowest target address.

/dev/rmt/1 The external, noncompressing tape drive (QIC-150 or 5-GB, 8-mm drive) with the second lowest target address.

/dev/rmt/0c The internal, compression-capable tape drive (usually a 14-GB or 40-GB) with the lowest target address.

/dev/rmt/1c The external, compression-capable tape drive (either a QIC 2.5-GB or a 14-GB tape drive) with the second lowest target address.
