How to read vdump'ed tapes

• Put tape
• Be root. (% su)
• Change dir to a proper dir. to extract files.
  # cd "somewhere"
• Start interactive extraction by
  # vrestore -if /dev/nrmt0h [ assuming /dev/nrmt0h is your DLT device.]
• Move to a proper dir. in the tape by
  (/) cd "dir. name"
• List the files in the dir. by
  (/) ls
• Then, you can choose a file or a directory to be extracted by
  (/) add "filename" or add "dir. name"
• After all, you can say
  (/) extract
• If one DLT tape has multiple save sets, then you can start the vrestore again to extract the next set.
  If you want to skip one save set, then type
  mt -f /dev/nrmt0h fsf 1
