This form simplifies the searching for files which are on backup tape. The search string you enter will be used to find files or directories listed in the backup tape index. The only directories stored in the tape indices are /home/dobin (the N: drive), /home/dye, and /home/misc

Enter the search string to use to find the file or directory. NOTE: this is a regular expression which is similar to the '*' and '?' used in DOS, but has extra features. The most important difference is that a '*' (asterix) MUST be preceded by a character. So '*.tif' is not a correct search string. Instead, use '.*.tif' - the leading '.' (dot) means to match any one character.
