Hi,

How can I restore single files from the tape created with:
    mksysb -i /dev/rmt0 ?
I have tried:
    restore -xvf /dev/rmt0.1 ./my/file/name
which does not help and produces the following output:
    restore: 0511-260 The archive is not in backup format.

Thanks.

try
tctl -f/dev/rmt0 rewind
tctl -f/dev/rmt0.1 fsf 3

this will step by the system files that mksysb creates before it actually
does the back up of files

then try the restore

man tctl   will describe exactly what tctl does.
