Hi All

I have been given a tape with "useful data" on. I dont know how the data is
put on the tape so cant figure out how to get to it. I have tried to use tar
to read directly from tape-device but it doesnt recognize anything.

Please enlight me with some tape-basics on how to investigate an unknown tape.
Thanks!

[Part of a doc I wrote in french, but you'll understand the commands :]


dd if=/dev/nsa0.1 of=/tmp/restored/monFichierArchive bs=32k skip=1

L'option "skip=1" est utilis�e ici pour �viter de lire l'ent�te du fichier d'archive, qui n'en fait pas partie, mais qui est rajout�e par Amanda.

On peut ensuite exploiter (en extraire des fichiers) le fichier d'archive avec les commandes "tar" ou "restore" (selon la m�thode utilis�e lors de la sauvegarde) :

[EMAIL PROTECTED] # tar tvf /tmp/restored/monFichierArchive

ou

[EMAIL PROTECTED] # restore -tvf /tmp/restored/monFichierArchive

I know, I'd rather translate this huge doc in english...
