Copying the Transport File From Tape to Disk at the Target Machine


In order to copy a transport file from tape to disk at the target machine, issue the UNIX dd command. Here is an example:

 dd if=/dev/tape1 of=tranfile bs=8000 

where:

dd

  • copies the specified input file to the specified output device.

if=/dev/tape1

  • specifies the input file (or tape device).

of=tranfile

  • specifies the output file.

bs=8000

  • specifies the input file and output file block size as 8000.

See the UNIX dd (1) manual page for more details.
