dump again

[Behan Webster <behanw@verisim.com>]

I'm new to using restore(1), and can't quite figure out how to extract a
single file from a dumped filesystem.

I first restored the dump image from amanda onto an empty partition (the
image is called dragon.hda2.19980523.0), then I tried to restore
bcwhite/longtmp/testfuncs.cpp...

I just can seem to get it to work.  The following doesn't seem right. 
Have I missed something entirely?

Thanks for any help...



dragon:/home# restore -t -v -b 2 -f ~/prev/dragon.hda2.19980523.0
bcwhite/longtm
p/testfuncs.cpp
