Read the end of the Restore chapter of the manual. It gives you a few examples of writing bsr files, where you can do something *similar* (not exactly the same) as you want to do. It doesn't let you position then start reading, but it does allow you to tell it where to read the data. > > > Here's the full output of the bextract I'm trying to do with the command: > > bextract -v -i ./inc.tmp SDLT-320 -V "000038" /tmp/ > > bextract: butil.c:269 Using device: "SDLT-320" for reading. > 21-Mar 16:31 bextract: Ready to read from volume "000038" on device > "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0). > bextract: acquire.c:200 jcr->dcr=0x80ae8a8 > 21-Mar 16:32 bextract: End of file 1 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:32 bextract: End of file 2 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:33 bextract: End of file 3 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:33 bextract: End of file 4 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:34 bextract: End of file 5 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:34 bextract: End of file 6 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:35 bextract: End of file 7 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:36 bextract: End of file 8 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:36 bextract: End of file 9 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:37 bextract: End of file 10 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:37 bextract: End of file 11 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:38 bextract: End of file 12 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:38 bextract: End of file 13 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:39 bextract: End of file 14 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:40 bextract: End of file 15 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:41 bextract: End of file 16 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:42 bextract: End of file 17 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:43 bextract: End of file 18 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:44 bextract: End of file 19 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:45 bextract: End of file 20 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:46 bextract: End of file 21 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:46 bextract: End of file 22 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:47 bextract: End of file 23 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:48 bextract: End of file 24 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:48 bextract: End of file 25 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:49 bextract: End of file 26 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:50 bextract: End of file 27 on device "SDLT-320" (/dev/nst0), > Volume "000038" > 21-Mar 16:51 bextract: ERROR TERMINATION at bextract.c:289 > Record header file index 562664 not equal record index 0 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
