I'd strongly advise trying this (and everything else) out on a non-production server until you get the hang of it. That might be a problem if you don't have a tape unit available, but it's the safest path.

Now that I'm back at work, I reviewed the restore man page and some other web pages on restore, and want to verify:

I'm in a scratch/temp directory, and type:
restore rf (maybe with i, too) /dev/tape

the result will restore the dump to the current scratch/temp location so nothing in the active filesystem is overwritten?

If true, I'll test it asap.

Please advise.

Thanks.
