[BBLISA] Re: untested backups

Now that I'm back at work, I reviewed the restore man page and some other web 
pages on restore, and want to verify:

I'm in a scratch/temp directory, and type:
restore rf (maybe with i, too) /dev/tape

the result will restore the dump to the current scratch/temp location so 
nothing in the active filesystem is overwritten?

If true, I'll test it asap.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Scott
