    Not critical - I'm verifying I know how to do this before I have to!!!

    AIX 5.2 ML2, B50, external 4mm tape drive.
    I have tried both /etc/motd and ./etc/motd

    # tctl -f /dev/rmt0 rewind
    # restore -xvq -s2 -f /dev/rmt0.1 ./etc/motd
    New volume on /dev/rmt0.1:
    Cluster size is 51200 bytes (100 blocks).
    The volume number is 1.
    The backup date is: Thu Apr 22 06:56:40 CDT 2004
    Files are backed up by name.
    The user is root.
    The total size is 0 bytes.
    The number of restored files is 0.
    #

    TIA - Steve
