frecover

Hi

I am looking at doing a restore of a folder /holdtmp which is under the root filesystem and is about a gig in size.

I just want to confirm the following command is correct.

frecover -xvf /dev/rmt/0mb -i /holdtmp

Is this correct.

Thanks
Simon

looks ok, but a few points:
does this directory already exist? if so are there already files in it?
if so, do you want to overwite these files?
if so, use the -o option ohterwise it will not recover older files.
Also, as a test, you may want to run it first with the -N option, just to be sure.

Hi ,
go ahead if you want to overwrite the existing file in /holdtmp . Your command is right.

To recover a particular FILE:
# frecover -x -i /holdtmp -f /dev/rmt/0m

To see if a particular file is on the tape ( must know path )
# frecover -xNv -i /holdtmp -f /dev/rmt/0m
