managers,
It is amazing...
a problem is identified, discussed and solved within 30-40 minutes!
PROBLEM: (not anymore!)
~~~~~~~
How do I archive/retrieve a list of files (say, listed in listPB)
on to DLT tape?
SUMMARY:
~~~~~~~
Thanks to Sophia Liow <Sophia.Liow_at_cmis.CSIRO.AU>
Her suggestion of
$ tar cvf /dev/nrmt1h `cat listPB`
works fine for me to archive as well as retrieve!
Thanks to all other respondents (see below)
---------------------------------------------------------
Ian Mortimer (mortimer_at_physics.uq.edu.au) and
Paul Tyler <pct_at_ansto.gov.au> suggested the following:
tar -R listPB -cvf /dev/nrmt1h
tar -cvf /dev/nrmt1h -R listPB
I got the following message but the files were not archived:
rec 1: listPB
----------------------------------------------------------
Frank Gallacher(franx_at_oas.telstra.com.au wrote) suggested
tar -cvf /dev/nrmt1h -R./listPB
I got the error message:
tar: unrecognized option `-.'
tar: rec 0: Unknown option. Use 'tar --help' for a complete
list of options.
Thanks to everyone!
