Trying to restore a file but I don't want it to be restored in its original location. That is, I want to restore it to /tmp. Can this be done?

Hello,

You can go to /tmp and use the -X parameter. That would force frecover to recover files to the current directory (/tmp).

HTH,

Hi

I think you can do this with the -X flag. cd in to /tmp and then use frecover the -X option. Check the man page to confirm this is what you want.

Cheers

Use the -X option, see man frecover(1M),

Hi,

It depends on how you backup the data. If you use the relative path then you can do that. Otherwise you have to rename the original file in order not to overwrite it during restoration.
