- CPIO Restore

universe question
We have a customer that got some kind of damage to a Universe system which is backed up by the following command....
cd /ACCT1
find . -print | cpio -ovcB 1> ${TAPEDRIVEn} 2> ${LOGFILE}
How would I presumably restore it from the tape unit?

I would myself start reading the manpage of the cpio used.
Typically cpio -icB < ${TAPEDRIVEn} while positioned at /
BUT starting with -t to see whats on the tape.
BUT MAKE SHURE YOU READ THE MANPAGE AND can restore somewhere
where you don't damage sensitive data.

All too easy to fuck up when recovering backup which you
are unfamiliar with...
