How to findout particular file in the backup tape with the help of ufsdump..

Answer / stratovarius

The magnetic tape control command (mt) only works for tape
drives that support it.

To view a file in an archive backed up using ufsdump, use
the ufsrestore command.

#ufsrestore -tf /device_name <archive_name> --->displays a
table content of files in the archive.

#ufsrestore -if /device_name -->is usfrestore interactive
mode. From where you can use the "cd & ls" subcommands to
browse, "add|delete" to select|unselect a file , "mark" to
list selected files,"extract" to extract the file and "exit"
to exit the interactive prompt.
