Hello!
i have a blank harddrive and a complete tape backup of the workstation.
the backup is made with F-Backup.
Now my question is:

You also need the CD's to install the OS. Then it basicly goes something like this. Install the OS and set up the filesystems as they were, or if you want to change stuff, as you want them. Use frecover to restore the non-os files... this may include stuff like /home, /usr/local/bin, etc. Also recover /etc/passwd and /etc/group to /tmp. Merge in the stuff for the users. Or copy them over if you are sure you know that root password. Now see where you are. You will probably find some missing stuff which you will need to recover.
I started recovering with frecover. I was trying to recover from tape to path /recover but I coulnt find an option for that in the manual pages of frecover. Is there an option where I can recover from tape to a path?
thanks for any ideas!

Have a look at this.
To recover files to original location:
# frecover -f /dev/rmt/0m -xov -i /source_directory
To recover files relative to the current working directory:
# cd /destination_directory
# frecover -f /dev/rmt/0m -xXov -i /source_directory
To recover all files under source directory to the present directory (all paths on tape will be ignored - leaving a flat directory structure):
# cd /destination_directory
# frecover -f /dev/rmt/0m -xFov -i /source_directory
