Sun Solaris "Tar" command
Hi,
I am trying to run restore using tar command. I backup my data using "tar cv ./raid5". When I try to restore on this folder /temp I type "tar xvf /dev/rmt/0 ./raid5/test.txt". I don't see any files got restore up (where test.txt is in the folder /raid5).
Where would my files located? Will it be /temp/raid5/test.txt.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Excuse me, CT2000 --->>> Please explain how you solved the problem yourself, when this was posted for you prior to your comment and I quote:

tar xvf /dev/rmt/0 ./raid5/test.txt
in this, the last argument specifies what you want restored.
Try this
cd /<wherever it is>/raid5
tar -xvf /dev/rmt0 test.txt
---------->>>> argo, am I missing something here?
Requesting second opinion.

Feel better now :)

It is very disheartening, indeed, to see that questions are asked, help is offered and then ......
Well, fortunately, this site is about Collaboration and doing what is right. This has been done. Asker chose not to return and update the "other" solution so I could only assume this served well.
I can certainly understand how and why you felt that way. Hopefully, as this site continues to improve, there will be less of this to contend with. The New Management and processes have been significantly better, and more improvements on the way. Check What's New if you haven't yet. I've always felt this site was the best on the net and do so still, otherwise I wouldn't spend 70 hours/week cleaning up old questions (for free).
Take care,

I manage to solve the problem myself. The correct command should be /temp/ type tar xvf /dev/rmt/0 ./raid5/test.txt
