Full fbackup, need to restore only specific directory

[William Pribble]

I have a full fbackup and want to restore only a few directories. Is this possible using a graph file. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You can restore without the use of graph files:

Sure ..
First you want to find out the exact path of the dir/files from the index (assuming 0m is your tape device)
# frecover -I /tmp/tape-index -f /dev/rmt/0m

From /tmp/tape-index, take note of the path then create your graphfile.

# vi /tmp/graph
i /opt/apps
i /var/opt/apps

# frecover -xvof /dev/rmt/0m -g /tmp/graph
==> do your recovery.

Hi Elaine,

If you know the directory that you want to restore, you can use SAM in order to restore this by using the online backup/restore option.
