Message-ID: <8612190241.AA00412@ci.sei.cmu.edu> Date: Thu, 18-Dec-86 21:41:13 EST Article-I.D.: ci.8612190241.AA00412 Posted: Thu Dec 18 21:41:13 1986 Date-Received: Fri, 19-Dec-86 23:43:04 EST Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The ARPA Internet Lines: 16 Approved: info-vax@sri-kl.arpa I have a VMS BACKUP tape that was written with the /INTERCHANGE switch. I'd like to recover the original directory structure, but BACKUP wants to read all the files into the directory I specified on the BACKUP command. That is, if I do: BACKUP/REWIND/LOG MSA0: DUB0:[TAPE] it reads all the files into the top-level directory [TAPE], instead of creating them in sub-directories where they should be (and where BACKUP/LIST says they originally were). Does anyone have a better solution than creating all the sub-directories by hand and moving the files into their appropriate directories? (There are a *lot* of sub-directories to deal with!) --Pat.
