What am I doing wrong?

2007-12-24 21:32:00

I'm trying to restore a certain file from a tape of a cpio arvhive.

When I list the tape (cpio -iBtv < /dev/rmt/0 ) it shows up, but when I
tried to retrieve it (cpio -iBv "BILLING.*" < /dev/rmt/0 ) non were
restored.

There are several BILLING jobs with numbers from 17 - 22, but non
restored.

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to specify the whole path of the file?
If I do, and if I don't use the -d option will it restore the file in
the current dir rather then the path it was backed up from?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I will summarize
