restore(1M) restore(1M)

deleted from the extraction list (unless h is speciﬁed on the command

line). The most expedient way to extract ﬁles from a directory is to add

the directory to the extraction list, then delete unnecessary ﬁles.

extract All ﬁles named on the extraction list are extracted from the dump tape.

restore and rrestore ask which volume the user wants to mount.

The fastest way to extract a few ﬁles is to start with the last volume, then

work toward the ﬁrst volume.

help List a summary of the available commands.

ls [arg] List the current or speciﬁed directory. Entries that are directories are

displayed with a trailing /. Entries marked for extraction are displayed

with a leading *. If the verbose key is set, the inode number of each entry

is also listed.

pwd Print the full path name of the current working directory.

quit restore and rrestore immediately exit, even if the extraction list is

not empty.

set-modes Set the owner, modes, and times of all directories that are added to the

extraction list. Nothing is extracted from the tape. This setting is useful

for cleaning up after a restore aborts prematurely.

verbose The sense of the v modiﬁer is toggled. When set, the verbose key causes

the ls command to list the inode numbers of all entries. It also causes

restore and rrestore to print out information about each ﬁle as it is

extracted.

Function Modiﬁers

The following function modiﬁer characters can be used in addition to the letter that selects the function

desired:

b Specify the block size of the tape in kilobytes. If the -b option is not speciﬁed,

restore and

rrestore try to determine the tape block size dynamically.

f Specify the name of the archive instead of /dev/rmt/0m . If the name of the ﬁle is

restore reads from standard input. Thus, dump and restore can be used in a pipeline to

dump and restore a ﬁle system with the command

dump 0f - /usr | (cd /mnt; restore xf -)

When using rrestore, this key should be speciﬁed, and the next argument supplied should

be of the form machine:device.

h Extract the actual directory, rather than the ﬁles to which it refers. This prevents hierarchical

restoration of complete subtrees from the tape, rather than the ﬁles to which it refers.

m Extract by inode numbers rather than by ﬁle name. This is useful if only a few ﬁles are being

extracted and one wants to avoid regenerating the complete path name to the ﬁle.

v Type the name of each ﬁle restore and rrestore treat, preceded by its ﬁle type. Normally

restore and rrestore do their work silently; the v modiﬁer speciﬁes verbose output.

y Do not ask whether to abort the operation if restore and rrestore encounters a tape

error. restore and rrestore attempt to skip over the bad tape block(s) and continue.

rrestore creates a server, either /usr/sbin/rmt

or /etc/rmt, on the remote machine to

access the tape device.

DIAGNOSTICS

restore and rrestore complain about bad key characters.

restore and rrestore complain if a read error is encountered. If the y modiﬁer has been speciﬁed, or

the user responds y, restore and rrestore attempt to continue the restore.

If the dump extends over more than one tape, restore and rrestore ask the user to change tapes. If

the x or i function has been speciﬁed, restore and rrestore also ask which volume the user wants to

mount. The fastest way to extract a few ﬁles is to start with the last volume and work towards the ﬁrst

volume.
