I'm a newbie when it comes to working with tape backups.
I'm trying to extract a directory from a tape archive, and not getting much success.
The directory on the tape is of the format /foo1/foo2/foo3/foo4/foo5/foo6
with the directory I want being foo6
.
The method I've found of extracting a specific directory from tape (my tape drive device being st0) is:
tar -xvf /dev/st0 /foo1/foo2/foo3/foo4/foo5/foo6
However, when I try that, tar
can't find the desired directory
