I was rewriting some backup scripts with a view to automating the restore process, when I ran into the following problem. It seems that sun restore insists on prompting for the "next volume" and whether or not to set the "owner/mode" on '.' and it aborts if it detects that it is receiving data from a pipe. Every time I attempted to run the command: rsh exabyte_machine "dd if=/dev/nrst0 bs=51200" | \ restore xvf /dev/nrst0 \ /etc/sendmail.cf \ /etc/aliases \ /etc/aliases.dir \
