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.
