Below are instructions for recovering files from backup tapes. This is relevant to the nightly differential backups we do in the lab, but not necessarily to the weekly full backups run in the Barnes lab. Please contact Carl Welch with any problems or questions. The tape needs to fully rewound before doing this. Currently, this is the second filesystem dumped to the tape.
Root owns ufsrestore, so it has to be run as root or with sudo.
A ufsrestore prompt will appear. The files are named according to the date on which they occurred. View the contents of this file to determine at what point in the dump sequence the desired filesystem was backed up to tape. Skip these in your counting when trying to locate the filesystem you want.
