I was using 'restore xf -', but after reading the manpage again I see that using -r like you do is the way to go. Unbelievable that noone else has noticed this, there are hundreds of posts on the internet discussing this very issue. Many thanks, you just saved me a lot of trouble! -- R ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
