frecover

[Ron Irving]

Further to my fbackup question, here's another:

If I backup these files, say 1300 of them, is there a way to recover them to a different directory, minus the path?

Here's what I mean:
/dir1/dir2/dir3/file1 --to--
/dir4/file1

Is this possible?

Once again I grovel at your feet, and will do all of your cleaning for an hour.

Hi Ron:

Take a look at the 'frecover' man (1M) pages. You want to specify the '-X' option to recover to your *current working* directory. You may also want to apply the '-F' option to truncate leading directories.

Regards!

Ron-

If you are using SAM to backup/restore (I know, I know. REAL system admins use the command line for backup...), you can specify in the restore option (after choosing the files) to backup to a non-root directory. It will prompt you for the directory.
