Not really, but you don't need to attach to a tape in order to restore an account from a file. I haven't worked with VTF files, but generally you can do the following to restore the account from a file: UNIX ---- cd /parent/directory/of/account /path/to/uvhome/bin/acct.restore -a /path/to/file.vtf -n -19 Now, create the account in the UV menus or using UniAdmin. Windoze ------- cd \parent\directory\of\account type \path\to\file.vtf | \path\to\uvhome\bin\acct.restore.exe - -n -19 Now, create the account in UniAdmin. Note, the -n option indicates the modulo of the files in the account save archive are based on a 2K frame. The -19 option says to convert DC type files to type 19 files (the "file" is a directory and the programs are files within the directory). The -a option lets you specify the file containing the account-save archive. On Windoze, I use the "type" command to read the file and tell acct.restore.exe to read from standard input (the - option) instead of use the -a option -- I've found "acct.restore.exe -a" to be a bit flaky on Windoze. For both platforms, there are other issues such as checking/setting permissions on the account that you need to address. But, generally the steps above can be used to handle the account-restore.
