restoring files in different directory structure

mehul_3 — Wed, 04 May 2005 05:19:20 GMT

Hi,
As a part of weekly backup, I have been using fbackup to take database offline backup on DAT using the following:
fbackup -v -f /dev/rmt/0m -i /u01/gdbs -i /u02/gdbs -i /u03/gdbs

I have successfully restore it by using frecover command on another hp-ux11i box but it restore of what we had backed up files under the same directory structure.
Now I want to restore/copy this backup under /u01/backup directory.

Regards
Mehul

Hi Mehul,

specify the '-X' option to recover to your current directory i.e. after cd ing to /u01/backups You also have to apply the '-F' option to truncate leading directories.

If you are using SAM, you can specify in the restore option (after choosing the files) to backup to a non-root directory. It will prompt you for the directory.

Naveej

Could you please send a exact command? I used the following command to restore whole data
frecover -f /dev/rmt/0m â

Hi,

#cd /u01/backup
#frecover -x -oX -i /u01/gdbs /u02/gdbs /u03/gdbs

will get restored as /u01/backup/u01/gdbs/your_files

if you want to restore as /u01/backup/all_files_in_u0*

#cd /u01/backup
#frecover -x -oF -i /u01/gdbs /u02/gdbs /u03/gdbs
