1. How does one LIST the contents (i.e. the files) on a volume create
by 4.2BSD backup? I don't want to restore them, just list them.
Lengths and dates would be nice, but not absolutely necessary.
Probably "restore -t -f archive". I don't have any BSD handy ATM but
AIX does it thusly....
2. How does one restore the contents of the said
level 0 backup
volume a local directory? That is, the original was almost certainly
backup up starting with /, but I don't want to overwrite my own file
system with restored data.
Modern restore always backs up relative to the CWD. Getting the TOC
listing will tell you for sure.
Sorry for being so dense this morning, but I can't
make heads or
tails out of how one might do this using restore. Tar and cpio are
easy, but backup/restore has me in a high state of confusion.
Not nearly as consistent across platforms and time as the others.
