I am trying to restore opt on my server.
my issue is, all the partitions are saved into the same back up tape.
what is the exact command to just restore /opt for example, supposing c0t0d0s7 is the partition for /opt

i just learnt solaris, i work in a production environnement, I would definately appreciate a quick response.
Assuming you used ufsdump to take the backup,
rewind the tape and move to the file number of opt
e.g
mt -f /dev/rmt/0 rewind
if you hav taken /opt after some other mount point using the same tape, you hav to do the following:
mt -f /dev/rmt/0 fsf 1
ufsrestore rf /dev/rmt/0
and make sure you restore in single user mode
any specific reason for going single user??
Whenever I try to restore a root file system on multi-user mode, I get links error
1 question, how can I know the file number of /opt???
if you took the backup using "ufsdump", then use "ufsrestore -ivf" for interactive restore, where you can browse the contents
if you took the backup using "tar", use the "tvf" options to see the contents
u could hav a look at the /etc/dumpdates of your the server using which you took the backup.
or you can move one file forward and browse using fsf..
