[plug] restoring from tape

[Buddrige, David]

Hi all,

I have a backup tape on which are some files that I want to extract.  My
problem is that 
a) I am not certain of the exact file-name and path of the files that I want
to extract, and 
b) when it is uncompressed the files on the tape come to > 16 Gigabytes.  
c) I don't know exactly how to mount a tape and to subsequently extract the
files.

So far, we tried the command:

cp /dev/st0 /tmp/storage.tgz

However, this filled the hard-drive up once it had extracted 16 Gigabytes.

What I really want to do is to search through the contents of the tape to
see what file-names are there, and then specifically choose to extract only
those files that I actually want off the tape.  Does anyone know how to do
this?

thanks

David Buddrige.
