Fellow Admins,
Well I am now in line for the infamous DOH! award. I have a DDS3 tape that
had some data from a box that we retired a while back. Mostly it was
scripts, depot's etc. I did a tar -tvf /dev/rmt/0m to ensure the tape was
good, and it was. However, I wanted to extract it into /opt/omni/jimla. So
before I had my morning coffee, I did: tar -cvf /dev/rmt/0m /opt/omni/jimla
and you guessed it, my data disappeared, and when I do a tar -tvf
/dev/rmt/0m I see /opt/omni/jimla. DOH!
Now the question is this..... Can I recover the data that was on there, or
has the table of contents been overwritten?
Cheers,
Jim Langston
