fbackup and frecover

[Chen Yingjie]

I am using fbackup and frecover to backup and resotre ORACLE file.
But when I use frecover to store ORACLE file, I found all file's OWNER:GROUP have been changed to root:root. Is there something wrong in my command?

fbackup command:
fbackup -f /dev/rmt/2m -v -i /PRODUCTS > /tmp/bkuplog 2>&1

frecover command:
cd /
frecover -x -X -i /PRODUCTS -f /dev/rmt/2m

Thanks in advise.

Try running thre recovery with the -A option

I think the -X is where the problem lies. It looks like you are trying to restore the files back to the same location they were in when you backed them up (/PRODUCTS), correct? If so you don't need to include the -X (you still need the -x but not the -X). Try:
frecover -x -i /PRODUCTS -f /dev/rmt/2m

frecover -x -o -i /PRODUCTS -f /dev/rmt/2m
shoud work, however if you fail to restore the ownership I will suggest you bring the machine to the single user mode and try...

Check both permission and ownership of directory, /PRODUCTS to see if it has properly configred or delete directory, /PRODUCTS before you use frecover command.

Try to use SAM, go through Backup and Recovery, then "Interactive backup and Recovery" and go into "Recover files or directories" after you select DDS device that you want to use.
At the bottom, You will see "Set additional parameters..." which contains an option "Preserve Original File Ownership."
Select that item and try to recover again.
