ignite restore

[RBI]

Can we restore only one filesystem e.g./var from ignite backup.What are the precautionary steps?

Hi,

Yes it is possible:

# mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn fsf 1
# tar -xvf /dev/rmt/0m /var

Regards,

Yes, it is like Gideon writes, but you should log on the system on single uesr mode, mounting the filesystem that are linked with the filesystem you want to restore, mainly you can:

#mount -a

Corrections:

# cd /
# mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn rew
# mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn fsf 1
# tar -xvf /dev/rmt/0m var
Best to be in the right directory prior to restoring. There is no / in front of var in this command.

These commands are documented on the man page.
