RESTORING FILES FROM DISKETTES
The process of restoring files from a floppy disk involves
copying the specified files from the floppy to the hard disk.
The commonly used command for copying files from a disk
(written with the tar command) in the high density drive onto
the hard disk is:
tar xvbf 20 $Xenixdev$ [filename(s)]
The commonly used command for copying files from a disk
(written with the cpio command) onto the hard disk is:
cpio -iBdv < $Unixdev$
Similarly, the command for copying files from a DSDD
floppy disk in the high density (top) drive is:
tar xvbf 20 /dev/rfd148ds9 [filename(s)]
Similarly, the command for copying files from the floppy
disk in the second drive (if there is one is):
cpio -iBv < /dev/rSA/diskette2
Restoring files from magnetic media practice, - 1.6.3.0.4
Let us restore the file forecast
from the DSDD density floppy disk in the low
density drive by using the tar command?
Let us restore the file forecast
from the floppy disk in the first drive, by using the cpio command.

That is correct!
You've got it on the 2nd try.
Good, you understand the concept.
Please type tar xvbf 20 /dev/rfd148ds9 forecast
Please type tar xvbf 20 /dev/rfd148ds9 forecast
Please type cpio -iBdv < /dev/rsave
Please type cpio -iBdv < /dev/rsave
I guess I must type this for you:

Observe the result on the terminal!

When the light on the disk drive goes off you may remove the floppy disk.
