xfsrestore: Restore Status: SUCCESS
Simple Mode for xfsresto re
The simple mode allows users to restore an entire file system from a level 0 dump. After identifying a
level 0 dump's session ID (that is, session-ID), restore it fully to /path/to/destination using:
# xfsresto re -f /d ev/st0 -S session-ID /path/to/destination
Note
The -f option specifies the location of the dump, while the -S or -L option specifies which
specific dump to restore. The -S option is used to specify a session ID, while the -L option is
used for session labels. The -I option displays both session labels and IDs for each dump.
Cumulative Mode for xfsresto re
The cumulative mode of xfsresto re allows file system restoration from a specific incremental
backup, for example, level 1 to level 9. To restore a file system from an incremental backup, simply add
the -r option:
# xfsresto re -f /d ev/st0 -S session-ID -r /path/to/destination
Interactive Operation
The xfsresto re utility also allows specific files from a dump to be extracted, added, or deleted. To
use xfsresto re interactively, use the -i option, as in:
xfsresto re -f /d ev/st0 -i
The interactive dialogue will begin after xfsresto re finishes reading the specified device. Available
commands in this dialogue include cd , l s, ad d , del ete, and extract; for a complete list of
commands, use hel p.
