recover some file from OS backup using net recovery (Ignite server)

[yulianto piyut]

hi all,

how to recover or restore some files from OS backup using net recovery?
I have OS backup (archive) in my ignite server. The archive type is file.

ignpapp1:/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/ovodapp1.5Mei2007>ls -al
total 28346528
drwxr-xr-x 2 root sys 96 Jun 5 20:22 .
drwxr-xr-x 105 root root 8192 Jun 5 19:54 ..
-rw------- 1 root sys 14513399325 Jun 5 20:05 2007-03-23,10:58

thx,

-yut-

Hi,

The archive format can be either cpio or tar. If you did not specify the -m option with the net_recovery then the default is tar.

If you are trying do it from the client side, you can nfs mount the archive fs and do the recovery. See the below thread (look for John) for recovering the single file.

The archives are actually gzip'ed so unless you have gtar so you can specify the -z option, you'll have to read the archive file using zcat as in:

zcat /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/mysystem/2007... | tar tvf - | more
