Restoring a file from a BACKUP tape

All disks except for scratch ones (disk2,3,4) are weekly backuped (tared) on 2 tapes. If you accidentally remove some important file it can be restored from the tape in this way:

1. Insert the tape to the EXA drive and possition it to the archive of /disk1:
   repeat command:
   
   tar tvf /dev/rmt/c201d5cn
   
   untill you reach the hp/disc archive
   
   
2. Make a list of the files in the archive:
   
   tar tvf /dev/rmt/c201d5cn > filename_of_the_list
   
   and find the archive pathname of your desired file xxx.
   It will look like this:
   
   hp/disk1/users/user_name/.../filename_of_xxx
   
   
3. Reinsert the tape in the drive and possition it again to the archive of /disk1.
   
   
4. Finally extract the desired file xxx:
   
   cd /net
tar xvf /dev/rmt/c201d5cn > hp/disk1/users/user_name/.../filename_of_xxx
