You can restore a file from tape yourself using the RESTORE command (be sure you
know how to use the tape drive), or you can use the PUMPKIN command to queue a
request with the Great Pumpkin, who comes by night to restore your files. This
will get your file back in a day or two, usually.
Both of these commands run the DART program. The syntax of the commands is
RESTORE {<dest>←}{<source>}
PUMPKIN {<dest>←}{<source>}
where the "{" and "}" delimit optional text, <source> is the name of the file on
tape to be restored, and <dest> is the name of the file on disk to be written.
(It will be the same as <source> if not specified.)
