Sysadmin:Restoring without AMANDA

• Rewind the tape: mt -f /dev/sa0 rewind
• Move to an image: mt -f /dev/nsa0 fsf n
• You can get instructions on how to restore the file: dd if=/dev/nsa0 bs=32k count=1
• Rewind, and then go back to that dump image.
• Follow the instructions on how to restore, which should look something like this: dd if=/dev/nsa0 bs=32k skip=1 | /usr/sbin/ufsrestore -f -
