frecover

[Mehmood Ansari]

I took fbackup from /DB/C002. Now I want to frecover to other directory /T002. How can I perform this. I run through sam it is recovering in same directory /DB/C002.

Did you try this,
Use SAM with...
Backup and Recovery ->
Interactive Backup and Recovery -> (choose tape device) -> (go to action menu option) -> Recover Files or Directories... -> (and on Set Additional Parameters..., choose "Place Files in Non-Root Directory"
and then, inform the directory that you can it files...

Step into the directory where you want to recover the fbackup archive to, and use the -X option togeter with the -r option in the frecover command (-f points to the device or file of your fbackup archive).
The -X option will extract relative to your cwd.
After extraction you may mv everything up the obsolete dirname, and rmdir the empty directories afterwards.

You can also use command line to do the recovery,
1)cd /targetdir
2)frecover -f /dev/rmt/0m -i /DB/C002 -xFX

use the frecover -X -x options to recover all to the directory /targetdir.
