Hi All,
I have a DLT tape created with tar which I have to recover on a server
that does not have a DLT tape device.
I have another server which has a DLT tape devie but this one
unfortunatelly
does not have enough disk space to read the tape into and then do an ftp
to the target server where I want the recovery to be done.
I know how I can use a remote host tape drive to do a backup for a local
directory:
[local_host] # tar cvf - /local_dir | rsh remote_host dd of=/dev/rmt/0m
This will archive the directory local_dir from local_host into the
tape drive on remote_host.
What I want actualy is the other way around, that is to recover
from the remote_host tape drive an archive created with tar
into the local_host.
Can I do this?
Any help will be appreciated.
TIA,
Marco
