this backup i like to redirect to
/tmp/usr1
frecover -f /dev/rmt/0m -i /home/usr1 -xv that can but redirection direct from the tape ????

thank you in advance

Hi Idriz,

You could try the -X option, check man frecover:

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

Hi Idriz,

Are you asking to redirect the output that you would see from fbackup on the screen into a file? If so, then just add 2> /tmp/usr to end of your command line. The 2 is required as fbackup sends the info to stderr rather than stdout. You may also like to use -v option to fbackup to get more verbose info - see the fbackup man page for more.

Darren.

No daren,

I like to redirect the directory's and files from the tape !
For example:
I make backup of /home/usr1 and i want redirect this to an another directory
for example
/tmp/usr/usr1

I can simply do
frecover -f /dev/rmt/0m -i /home/usr1 -xv and afterthat cp /home/usr1 /tmp/usr but it is to difficulty.

I want to redirect it direct from the tape to an another directory

is it possibly ?

Hi Idriz,

Thanks for clarifying that. :)

I think the -X option as suggested by Gideon is suitable for what you want to do.

I guess the data is taken from one server to another, otherwise you'd just perform a straight cp (or perhaps use cpio.)

Darren.
