Air Cleaner User Manual

Note: This option only applies to backups being restored to systems
running AIX 5.1 or later.
Destination (if different)
Default = blank. If you are restoring data to its original location, leave
this field blank. To select an alternate “relative” logical volume or
directory for the restored data, select one of the following:
v For a file/directory backup, enter a new directory. If the file to be
restored from the media is /home/tony and you want to restore the
file to /tmp directory, the file is restored “relative” to /tmp, resulting
in the filename /tmp/home/tony.
v For a filesystem backup, enter a new directory. The contents of the
entire filesystem will move to the new directory. The new filenames
will not be relative to the previous filesystem mount point. For
instance, the /home/tony filesystem (containing the file
/home/tony/file1) can be moved to the /test directory; the resulting
file is /test/file1 (the /home/tony directory prefix is removed).
v For logical volume backups, enter a new logical volume name. The
data is restored to the new logical volume. An “end of file” error
occurs when writing the data if the new logical volume is smaller
than the original.
Note: You cannot specify a new destination when you select
multiple logical volumes, volume groups, or filesystems to
restore.
Exclude List File Name
Specify the fully qualified path and file name of the exclude list to be
processed in backup services. If you do not specify a path name along
with the file name, the file name specified will be checked for in the
/usr/lpp/sysback directory.
File Containing a List of Data to be Restored
Specify the fully qualified path name to a file that contains the list of
files to be restored from this backup image. Use this option when
restoring large numbers of files.
Note: The file list structure should be such that there is only one entry
per line in the file. For example:
/tmp/myjunk
/home/*
/home/my file name that has spaces in it
/home/my file name with special %&* characters in it
This is the only way that SysBack can selectively restore files
with spaces or special characters in the path or file name when
you input them explicitly. However, if you are specifying a top
level directory as the data to restore, and its subdirectories or
files have special characters or spaces, there is no need to place
them in a file for this option. Also, wildcard restores will
correctly restore files and directories that contain spaces or
special characters in the name.
For example:
/myfs/mydirectory/*
