hello,
i use `restore' command quite often to restore individual
files but not on OpenBSD but AIX.
I'm trying to do the same on OpenBSD but I'm failing, how to
do that on OpenBSD?
Imagine you `dump' a FS and then you need to recover some files.
# df -h /

You have not read any tapes yet.
Unless you know which volume your file(s) are on you should start
with the last volume and work towards the first.
Specify next volume #:
And here I'm failing, why volume?
Thank you for tips.
