Hi,

cd /newdir
frecover -xvF -f /dev/rmt/0m -i /origdir/yourfile

-F : skip directory structure; result: /newdir/yourfile.

or

cd /newdir
frecover -xvX -f /dev/rmt/0m -i /origdir/yourfile

-X : relative to current dir; result: /newdir/origdir/yourfile

best regards,
Thierry Poels.

Hi

he is correct .

It may be nice to recover relative somewhere in a directory like /tmp/local.
To restore relative, you must go first to the directory with cd, and then
use the X or F option.

cd /tmp/local; /etc/frecover -xvXi /directory
(with directory tree path )
cd /tmp/local; /etc/frecover -xvFi /directory
(without path, only files names)

Hi!

Make sure you cd to the a temporary directory and use the -X when using the frecover command.

-X Recover files relative to the current working directory.
Normally frecover recovers files to their absolute path
name.
