frecover in a different location

[Sanjiv Sharma_1]

Hi,

I have taken backup with the following command:

# fbackup -f /dev/rmt/0m -i /LinkX/link_tha/Done_ink -i /LinkX/hob/Done

There were many files inside /LinkX/link_tha/Done_ink and /LinkX/hob/Done

Now I want to restore the contents in a different location in the same m/cs. Also I don't want to overwrite the previous data.

The new location is : /LinkX/tmp.23102002/
Here the data restored can be in the same or different folder.

What should be the command?

Regards,
Raje.

well if you look at the man pages for frecover, you will see there are a couple of options for you.
You could cd to the new directory (empty) and then frecover using the option:
-F Recover files without recovering leading directories

Or you could use:
-X Recover files relative to the current working directory.

To test that it is doing what you want, include the -N option the first time, so it does not actually write to the disc.

check the man pages for the -F and -X options of
frecover

Put in the directory you want to recover your files (LinkX/tmp.23102002) and write:

frecover -x -X -v -i directoty_included -e directoty_excluded

-i: directory to be included to extract
-e:directory to be excluded
-v :vervose
-x : needed by -i and -e options
-X: Recover files relative to the current directory.
