I finally had to use the 3B1 streaming tape to restore a complete section of
my file system. I've used it to restore single files before but for some
reason it never occured to me that the /usr/bin/Trestore.sh program doesn't
preserve the file modification time. Quickly looking at the shell script
reveals that it doesn't supply the -m flag to tapecpio! Now if you're
restoring something like /usr/bin it's not very nice to set all the modification
times to the current date. So beware, either add the -m flag or live with
having all the modifcation times messed up. Has anyone written a good tape
backup utility for the 3B1? The utilities supplied by AT&T really leave a
lot to be desired.
