Frecover not recovering file even though its on index
I am trying to recover a file from a fbackup archive. The index I get with frecover -I index convirms that the file /mydirectory/myfile is present along with 7 other files in /mydirectory. The sizes listed next to each file look correct.
When I run the frecover -xvF -f /dev/rmt/1m -i /mydirectory/myfile command, it comes back with file not recovered.
If I recover the whole /mydirectory, it only recovers 3 of the 8 files on the index. The files it did recover are the three smallest so I thought maybe I was running out of space on the file system I was recovering to but I have checked definately amn't.
OS is HPUX 11i
Can anyone advise? Are these files lost?
TIA
Johnny

Re: Frecover not recovering file even though its on index
Panic over. Realized that the file system I'm recovering to isn't set up for large files. I'm sure if I recover to the originating file system they will work.
Cheers,
Johnny

Re: Frecover not recovering file even though its on index
To recover a list of particular FILEs using graph files which contain the list of file names to be recovered or skipped.:
# frecover -x -g /tmp/tape/dbf.txt -f /dev/rmt/0m

Re: Frecover not recovering file even though its on index
to recover a single file you may try.
# frecover -x -i /path/filename -f /dev/rmt/0m
This thread may be helpful i guess.

> When I run the frecover...it comes back with file not recovered.
The 'fbackup' utility constructs an index of files to-be-backed-up as part of its initial processing. This index file is then written to the output archive (usually a tape). This does *not* mean that a file that was present when the index was created will be present for subsequent backup.

Re: Frecover not recovering file even though its on index
Hopefully there would be a message saying it was removed when you completed fbackup.
This typically happens for files in /tmp and /var/tmp. For other places, you should investigate when you see the messages.
