Restore /home
If you had a local home directory, you can restore it as follows:
• For instance, if you copied it to /backup/system1/home, enter these
commands:
cd /backup/system1/home
find -depth | cpio -pdm /system1/home
• If you backed it up to tape with fbackup, enter:
frecover -x -i /system1/home -v
Restore Other Files
Carefully use the same techniques to restore other files and directories,
such as /usr, /local, and /opt. For help in importing entire volume
groups, refer to either Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for
HP-UX System Administrators or Managing Superdome Complexes.
The commands cited in this section do not write over newer files, so your
new operating system and any files you update are well protected.
