14 Running tlist

Contents of this section

The tlist command can be used to make an index of all files in an existing archive.

Making an index file with tlist usually takes about as much time as a complete restore of the archive. The best way to create index files is by using the `Make a backup index file' option of tbackup while the archive itself is created. Tlist should be seen as a means of recreating the index file if the index made by tbackup is damaged or lost.

Running tlist goes along the same lines as running trestore, except that you are asked for a list method in stead of an unpack method.
