Unfortunately the rooted backups are cpio format: find / -depth -print0 | cpio -oBa0 -Hcrc >/dev/tape where they should be: cd / && find . -depth -print0 | cpio -oBa0 -Hcrc >/dev/tape And there's no documented way to use tar on a cpio file, although cpio will read many tar files. The real issue is not how to do the unpack, but how to NOT do the unpack at all. -- bill davidsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
