.. . . looks like 'Preferences' has a box in which to enter tar switches [

KDAT Restore
_____________
I selected one directory to Restore, but instead of restoring the
selected directory, kdat restored the PREVIOUS directory ! . . . The
'Verify' [of that wrong directory restored, was executed OK.]
Is it thus, that, one must always start, at the beginning, of a tape, by
doing a fresh MagicNumberFormat, before starting ? . . . I ask this
because I had backed up a couple of small files on my tape, before I
started my whole system backup using kdat . . . perhaps it was those
couple of files at the beginning of the tape, that caused my Restore
command to restore the WRONG directory ?
best :)
