I'm new to using restore(1), and can't quite figure out how to extract a single file from a dumped filesystem.
I first restored the dump image from amanda onto an empty partition (the image is called dragon.hda2.19980523.0), then I tried to restore bcwhite/longtmp/testfuncs.cpp... I just can seem to get it to work. The following doesn't seem right. Have I missed something entirely? Thanks for any help... dragon:/home# restore -t -v -b 2 -f ~/prev/dragon.hda2.19980523.0 bcwhite/longtm p/testfuncs.cpp Verify tape and initialize maps Dump date: Sat May 23 03:44:19 1998 Dumped from: the epoch Level 0 dump of /home on dragon:/dev/hda2 Label: none Extract directories from tape Initialize symbol table. leaf 65822 ./bcwhite/longtmp/testfuncs.cpp dragon:/home# restore -x -v -b 2 -f ~/prev/dragon.hda2.19980523.0 bcwhite/longtm p/testfuncs.cpp Verify tape and initialize maps Dump date: Sat May 23 03:44:19 1998 Dumped from: the epoch Level 0 dump of /home on dragon:/dev/hda2 Label: none Extract directories from tape Initialize symbol table. bad name to addentry ./bcwhite/longtmp abort?

Unless you know which volume your file(s) are on you should start with the last volume and work towards the first. Specify next volume #: restore interrupted, continue?
