frecover via SAM in 11v3.1

Hi,

How do I restore my backup (via fbackup) using SAM in 11v3.1?

I can't seem to find option unlike in 11v2.3

Thanks

frecover is still there, but not sam. Use it manually

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60130/frecover.1M.html

but you should focus on pax.

Hi Torsten,

Thanks for your reply.

It's more user-friendly in SAM than command line.

You are probably right, but remember:

frecover(1M)
TO BE OBSOLETED !

Hi Torsten,

I have read the documentation and it says that pax extracts, writes, etc.

Does it work like tar?

Can it be used (like fbackup) to do full system backup?

Better than tar. But lots worse than fbackup, it isn't industrial strength.

I don't think pax will meet the needs of an enterprise environment.
