Tar extracted something called "restore.nca" in a directory named HPUX0100 or something close to that. At that point I could not figure out what to do with restore.nca, nor could I get an answer from the HP Response Center except to tell me that the tape was not a tar tape and I should use cpio! I dutifully tried cpio and got _nothing_ from the tape. I reported that problem to the response center and I'm still waiting for a reply! HP, what's up?
