PRIMECLUSTER Global File Services Configuration and Administration Guide 4.2 (Solaris(TM) Operating Environment)

24.5.1 Restoring File by file

Use cpio(1), tar(1) or sfccpio(1) to restore files from the backup tape to the disk.

Extent attributes cannot be copied using cpio(1) or tar(1). Use sfccpio(1) when extent attribute information may be included in the file to be backed up.

For details on cpio(1) and tar(1), see the "Solaris X Reference Manual Collection" or the online manual.

For details on sfccpio(1), see Appendix F.3.2, "sfccpio(1)."

The following are examples of restoring from a tape.

• Restoring using cpio(1)

# cd /userdata
# cpio -icdm > /dev/rmt/0

• Restoring using tar(1)

# cd /userdata
# tar xvf /dev/rmt/0

• Restoring using sfccpio(1)

# cd /userdata
# sfccpio -icdm > /dev/rmt/0

Restoring from a backup tape must be performed using the same command that was used to create the backup.
