Our End of Day backup routine uses following script.
start End-of-day
compress $BASE TO /home/compdir
write /home/compdir to DATTAPE
end
where
$BASE=/home2/Rev83
DATATAPE=/dev/rmt/ctape1
write=cpio (not sure about parameters)
since I'm new to UNIX, i dont know how to restore data using cpio and i'm not sure about how compress works, Any one would plz. help me on these issues and also on how can i read data from the tape drive.?
Best Regards,
Tayyab
