Please could someone let me know the command for doing a partial restore from a backup taken with Fbackup. I know it's frecover but am having trouble with the command. We have only just starting using Fbackup for our backups.


Thanks for any help

Hi,

Use either a graph file to specify a list of files/directories that you require or a combination of -i and -e (include and exclude).

Use the -X switch if you want to recover relative rather than to the absolute path. i always remeber -X as "Here".

example to recover a file /tmp/example to the same place

frecover -x -f /dev/rmt/1m -i /tmp/example

To make sure that you have the correct tape, you can recover the volume header with

frecover -V /tmp/volumeheader -f /dev/rmt/1m

You can recover an index from the tape with

frecover -I /tmp/index -f /dev/rmt/1m

Change the device name to reflect whatever yours is called.

Kind Regards
Clare
