containing space characters, enclose the directory name in double quotation marks ("). You cannot
specify a backslash (\) at the end of the path.
If you omit both this option and the -f option, the entire file system registered in the backup catalog
will be restored.
-f target-definition-file-name
Specify this option to restore the file system that contains the specific file or directory. Use the file or
directory name registered in the backup catalog specified by the backup ID.
Create a target definition file in advance. The target definition file can be used to define a list of the
absolute paths of files or directories to be restored. By specifying the target definition file name, you
can collectively specify all definition files or directories that you want to restore. Use an absolute path
to specify the target definition file name. If the -target or -f options of the drmfsbackup command
are specified, specify for this option, for each file or directory name, exactly the same absolute path
as specified for the drmfsbackup command. If these names do not completely match, the file system
will not be restored properly. You cannot specify a backslash (\) at the end of the path.
When you specify a target definition file name containing space characters, enclose the target definition
file name in double quotation marks ("). Note, however, that you do not need to enclose specified
paths with double quotation marks (") when the target file name or directory name is specified in the
target definition file.
If you omit both this option and the -target option, the entire file system registered in the backup
catalog will be restored.
-pf copy-parameter-definition-file
Specify this option to use the number of retries and the retry interval defined in the copy parameter
definition file. Specify only the file name, without specifying the path.
When you omit this option, the value in the RAID Manager-linkage definition file (DEFAULT.dat) is
used. Values in DEFAULT.dat are also used for parameters not specified in the copy parameter
definition file.
Create a copy parameter definition file by using a name of your choice in the location below. Specify
the file name by using an alphanumeric character string of up to 64 bytes.

NOTE:
• The backup information in the backup catalog is managed by using a copy group as a key. De-
pending on the backup method, you might not be able to perform restoration, even though the
backup data exists on the secondary volume. For more information, see the notes on running
Application Agent in the
HP XP7 Replication Manager Application Agent CLI User Guide
.
• Restoration in a cluster configuration is supported.
