====Scripts to Extract from Tape====
Generally, all files on the tape can be extracted, or only specific files.
To extract all files on a tape, for example, a tape received from a collaborator, insert the tape into the drive and do the following:
  $ cd ur
  $ create/dir [.collaborator]
  $ create/dir [.collaborator.com]
  $ create/dir [.collaborator.log]
  $ create/dir [.collaborator.models]
  $ cd ur collaborator models
  $ backup/log tp0:*.sav []/by=parent  ! be sure you are the user (i.e. 'microct' or 'xtremect2') that has permission
  $ backup/log tp0:*.sav DISK4:[BONELAB.PROJECTS.FRAMINGHAM.MODELS...]/by=parent ! The "..." keeps the directory structure. The /by=parent ensures owner of the files is same as parent directory

This will save all the files on the tape to the current directory. Alternatively, if you only want a certain file extracted from the tape, such as an RSQ file, do essentially the same as per above, except with a different final command:
  $ backup/log tp0:*.sav/select=*.rsq []/by=parent

The <code>/by=parent</code> part of the command is a qualified for the file owner, and it makes the files that are copied the same owner as the parent directory (nothing to do with how directories are structured). The <code>[...]</code> generates sub-directories.


A custom script is required when extracting data from tape from another micro-CT system or to extract the data to a central location (e.g., a user's directory).  
*The script is then submitted to the backup queue of the workstation the tape drive is connected to (i.e., SCEVA3_BACKUP)
*Some example scripts are provided below.

*Extract image data for three scans to a custom folder, maintaining the sample and measurement directory structure:
<pre>
$ mount/foreign tp0
$ backup/log tp0:00001234_IMA.sav/select=[microct.data...]  disk3:[microct.projects.buie...]
$ backup/log tp0:00001245_IMA.sav/select=[microct.data...]  disk3:[microct.projects.buie...]
$ backup/log tp0:00001238_IMA.sav/select=[microct.data...]  disk3:[microct.projects.buie...]
$ dismount tp0
</pre>
 
*Extract segmented AIM files for three scans to a custom folder without the original directory structure:
<pre>
$ mount/foreign tp0
$ backup/log tp0:00001234_IMA.sav/select=[microct.data...]*seg.aim  disk3:[microct.projects.buie]
$ backup/log tp0:00001245_IMA.sav/select=[microct.data...]*seg.aim  disk3:[microct.projects.buie]
$ backup/log tp0:00001238_IMA.sav/select=[microct.data...]*seg.aim  disk3:[microct.projects.buie]
$ dismount tp0
</pre>
 
*Extract segmented AIM files for all scans on tape to a custom folder:
<pre>
$ mount/foreign tp0
$ backup/log tp0:*_IMA.sav/select=[microct.data...]*seg.aim  disk3:[microct.projects.buie]
$ dismount tp0
</pre>
 
*Extract raw data for three scans to a custom folder, without the original directory structure:
<pre>
$ mount/foreign tp0
$ backup/log tp0:00001234_IMA.sav/select=[microct.data...]  disk3:[microct.projects.buie]
$ backup/log tp0:00001245_IMA.sav/select=[microct.data...]  disk3:[microct.projects.buie]
$ backup/log tp0:00001238_IMA.sav/select=[microct.data...]  disk3:[microct.projects.buie]
$ dismount tp0
</pre>
