in Normal mode.
- After booting from Maintenance mode, copy a system dump
or tape using the following snap command:

- To copy the dump back from the external media (such as
a tape drive), use the tar command.
Enter the following to copy the dump from the /dev/rmt0 tape:
tar -x
To copy the
dump from any other media, enter:
tar -xftapedevice
