fbackup/frecover ver. 10.20

[David B. Bordwick]

How do I frecover files from fbackup to disk?
i.e.,
fbackup -g /usr/local/tmp/graphcath -I /usr/local/tmp/bkup.idx -f rman/backup/cath/backup.txt 2>/usr/local/tmp/error.log

This command created what appears to be a valid backup.
Is it valid and if it is how can I frecover files from it?
Thanks.

frecover -g /usr/local/tmp/grahpcath
-f /rman/backup/cath/backup.txt

However, you never specified a backup level, (0-9) in your fbackup command, so level 0 is default.

Hope this helps you.

Did you miss a bit or was the backup send to rman/backup/cath/backup.txt rather than a tape device. Depending on whats in the graph file this could be a fairly meaty file.

list the contents with
#frecover -I -f rman/backup/cath/backup.txt

recover a file with
#frecover -xovf rman/backup/cath/backup.txt -i "filename"

Hi David,

The fbackup command is correct and the frecover according to it is as follow :

frecover -x -g /usr/local/tmp/graphcath -f rman/backup/cath/backup.txt

x : Indicate the use of
e : exclude files,
i : include files
and/or
g : graph files

This recover will put the recovering files to their original places.
