DESCRIPTION

The rrestore command obtains from a magnetic tape or specified device files
saved by a previous rdump or dumpbsd.  The command is identical in operation to
restorebsd except the f should be specified in the key and the argument
supplied should be of the form machine:device.

The rrestore command creates a remote server on the client machine to access
the tape device.
