Flags
-c “termdev”
If the backup contains multiple tape volumes, the volume prompt is sent to the
“termdev” device (such as /dev/tty0). If the -h hostname option is specified,
this flag indicates the device on the remote host.
-D “destination”
Indicates that files should be restored to the directory specified by the
“destination” parameter or the logical volume data should be restored to the
logical volume specified by the “destination” parameter, rather than to their
original locations.
-f “device or file”
Specifies the input device name or filename of the backup. The specified
option can be on the local system or on a backup server (if -h option
provided). The device name can be a tape drive or virtual device name.
-F Enables the restoration of system files or directories otherwise non-replaceable.
-h “hostname”
Hostname of backup server to which the remote backup device is attached.
-H
Creates a detailed usage listing on the screen for this command. When
specified, no other action will be performed.
-i “sequence”
Specifies the backup to list, verify, or restore on a tape or series of tapes
containing multiple (stacked) backups. The default is “1”, or the first backup
on the media.
-L
This flag causes the command to read and display the items on the backup of
the specified type (indicated by the -t flag).
-n
Indicates the tape is already positioned at the beginning of the backup to read.
When this flag is supplied, the -i sequence option is ignored.
-t “type”
Indicates the type of data to be listed, verified, or restored.
-T
Reads the backup header and displays a single character representing the
backup type. No other action is performed.
-v Displays the file names as they are either verified or restored. This flag has no
affect when verifying or restoring logical volumes. Do not specify this flag if
the -x flag is used.
-V
Indicates that the backup contents should be verified, rather than restored.
Only items of the specified type (indicated by the -t flag) are verified.
-x Displays the progress indicator, including the approximate size and time to
read the entire contents of the media and the amount completed. Do not
specify this flag if the -v flag is used.
