Recovering a File That Already Exists
If you try to recover a file that already exists in the client directory, NetWorker
tells you that the file exists and gives you the options of discarding the
recovered file, overwriting the existing file with the recovered file, or renaming
the recovered file.
This section assumes that you have started the NSRRECOV program,
changed to the save set where the saved file resides, marked the file, and
started the file recovery.
If a file that you mark for recovery already exists, NetWorker displays the
following message:
/projects/project1/rep1 file exists, overwrite (n,y,N,Y,
or rename (r, R) [n]?
You can respond to this message in lowercase or UPPERCASE.
A response in UPPERCASE means that you do not want NetWorker to display
the above message if the file already exists; you want your response to apply
to the recovery of each existing file during the current recovery session.
Lowercase means that you want NetWorker to display the above message each
time that you try to recover an existing file. The default response to the above
warning prompt is a lowercase n; you do not want to overwrite the current
existing file and you want to be prompted each time you try to recover an
existing file.
Enter one of the following responses to the message:
• n – NetWorker does not overwrite the existing file; it displays the
following message:
skipping recover of /projects/project1/reports/rep1
Received 1 file(s) from NSR server `jupiter'
• y – NetWorker overwrites the original file and displays the following
message:
overwriting /projects/project1/reports/rep1
