frecover to another box

[Nobody's Hero]

I need to take an fbackup tape from box 'a' and restore the /app area to another box 'b'.

Can I use frecover to use another systems tape and restore a specific file system?

I need to restore the /app area from 'a' on to system 'b'

Yes, you can - If I understand you correctly.

You can fbackup /app and then frestore it to another computer.

If that's what you're asking.

Yes. Of course, the other system needs to be HP-UX so that it has frecover(1M). And the same type of tape drive or one that supports the tape format that was created. Or you can use the tape drive on box a to recover to box b with the -f machine:device option on frecover.

Yes you can. create a graph (text) file with the lie
i /app

frecover -g graphfile -f device name

should restore to a diffferent system

Hi Robert

Yes, you can do so. Hope OS version is same on both systems in order to have files compatibility

Hi Robert,
Yes you can.
on machine a : fbackup -i /app -f /dev/rmt/0m ( for example)
on machine b : frecover -i /app
