Hi gang.

We have some files backed up in a .tar file, and I need to recover one of them.  
Unfortunately, I do not know the exact path/filename of the required file.  So, I 
tried something like "tar -t tarfile.tar" to get a listing of the contents, with no 
luck. I'm sure I'm missing an option there though.  The tar file in question is approx 
11 GB in size, and the drive it is sitting on only has 4 GB free - So I can't just 
untar the entire file.  Any tips or suggestions here?  Thanks.

(one of our windows servers cratered over the weekend, but it isn't that critical.  
However we do have some databases on it that are used periodically - I need to recover 
one of the databases and get it set up on a different server.  We have a Linux box 
using Samba to backup files on the network in tar files.)

Shawn
