NOTES
If the dump tape contains files larger than 2 gigabytes, and if the file system being restored to does not sup-
port files larger than 2 gigabytes, the file is not restored correctly. Instead it is truncated to 2 gigabytes.
A file with a large uid (user ID of the file owner) or large gid (group ID of the file owner) cannot be restored
correctly on a file system that does not support large IDs. Instead, the owner and/or group of the file will
be that of the user invoking vxrestore. (A large ID is a value greater than 65535. The VxFS Version 2
disk layout does not support large IDs).
The current version of vxrestore can read dumps produced by older versions of vxdump.
vxrestore can restore files to a file system of a type other than VxFS. If the file system type does not
support extent attributes, than the extent attributes are not restored (see the -e option).
A version of vxrestore resides in /sbin for use when the system is in single user state.
WARNINGS
vxrestore can get confused when doing incremental restores from dump tapes that were made on active
file systems.
A level 0 dump (see the vxdump(1M) manual page) must be done after a full restore. Because
vxre-
store
runs in user code, it has no control over inode allocation; thus a full dump must be done to get a
new set of directories reflecting the new inode numbering, even though the contents of the files are
unchanged.
vxrestore does not restore access control lists (ACLs).
AUTHOR
vxrestore and rvxrestore are based on the restore program distributed in the 4.4 Berkeley
Software Distribution, developed by the the University of California, Berkeley, and its contributors.
