hi Gurus,

Is it possible to recover the root .profile using frecover?

Hi Fernando,

Yes it is possible. It is only read when logging in.
Success recovering!

Hi,

frecover can only be used to recover/restore if backed up using the fbackup command

frecover -f /dev/rmt/0m -xv -i /home/root/.profile

hi,

if u have really lost it and cannot be recover, another place to look for is at /etc/skel/.profile which u have to modify to suit your previous profile.

Yes, it is very much possible, provided the backup you have taken us using fbackup.

If you have backup then you can able to recover always :) when backup is healthy.

If you have configured .profile then your memory only source if u don't have backup. You can get model profile from /etc/skel/.profile file.
