    Subject: mksysb: restore specific files

    Hi all.
    I am trying to restore specific files from a mksysb
    from a 4.3.3 box. I found on the internet that you
    could do this using the following:

    tctl fsf 3 # move the tape to the data section
    restore -xvf /dev/rmt0 /home # restore the files.

    However, i am getting an error that the volume is not
    in "backup" format. I thought that version 4 started
    using "backup" instead of "tar". Am I missing
    something?
