I'm trying to restore a directory on one of our servers.  First, I
want the directory to reside in a temporary location before I move it
to its original location.  I ran the following command in the temp
location:

amrestore /dev/nst0 <hostname> /.1/shares

Now I have a file in my temp directory named
<hostname>._.1_shares.20030206.0.  I've tried to tar it to expand the
contents but the server just sits there, even when running tar
overnight.  I used:

tar xvpS <hostname>._.1_shares.20030206.0

What am I doing wrong?  I need to be able to pull a certain directory
out and trash the rest.  Any help will be appreciated.

Hi

well I tend to use amrecover myself....

(index and tape server tend to be same)

tar xvpfS <hostname>._.1_shares.20030206.0
