NAME
vmsbu - vms backup extractor
SYNOPSIS
vmsbu
[ -f tapefile ]
[ -t ]
[ filename1 ]
[ filename2 ... ]
DESCRIPTION
vmsbu
extracts files from a VMS backup tape
OPTIONS
- -f
-
Use the next argument as the name of the tapefile instead
of /dev/rmt0m
- -t
-
List the contents of the tape. No files are extracted and
filename1, filename2 ... are ignored.
-
If no filenames are specified, the entire tape is retored. If one
or more of filename1, filename2, ... are specified, only these
files are extracted. The filenames cannot contain wildcards and
must be appear exactly as they are on the tape. This usually means
that filenames must be enclosed in double quotes, as vms files names contain
special characters (i.e., ";"), and that the filenames must appear in CAPS.
EXAMPLE
vmsbu -f /dev/rmt0h "[MRC.DATA]RABBITS.DAT;3"

BUGS
If a specified file does not appear on the tape, no error message is
generated.
Multivolume backup tapes are not supported.
VMS backup will write duplicate blocks when soft errors occur on a tape. It
is not clear whether
vmsbu
processes these correctly.
