Tivoli Storage Manager for NetWare Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide
The restore command obtains copies of backup versions of
your files from a server. To restore files, specify the directories or
selected files, or select the files from a list. Restore files to the
directory from which you backed them up or to a different directory.
Tivoli Storage Manager uses the preservepath option with the
subtree value as the default for restoring files. For more
information, see Preservepath.
If you set the subdir option to yes when
restoring a specific path and file, Tivoli Storage Manager recursively
restores all subdirectories under that path, and any instances of
the specified file that exist under any of those
subdirectories.
System trustee rights are restored as part of the file restore
process. They cannot be restored alone.
You can use the restore command to restore a backup
set. See Restore Backupset for the syntax.

Parameters
- file
- This parameter specifies that the source file specification is an explicit
filename. This parameter is required when you restore a file name from
the current path, when you do not specify a relative or absolute path, and
when the file name conflicts with one of the reserved restore
command keywords, such as restore backupset. See Maximum File Size for Operations for the maximum file size for restore processing.
- options
- You can use these command line options with the restore
command: dirsonly, filelist, filesonly, fromdate, fromnode,
fromtime, ifnewer, inactive, latest, pick, pitdate, pittime, preservepath,
todate, totime. For more information, see Chapter 10, "Using Options with Commands".
You can use these common options with the restore command:
replace, subdir. See Chapter 9, Using Processing Options for information about common options.
- sourcefilespec
- Specifies the path and file name in storage that you want to
restore. Use wildcard characters to specify a group of files or all the
files in a directory.
- DIRectory or NDS
- Restores the NDS. To restore the entire directory, enter:
restore dir:* -sub=yes
To restore one container, enter:
dir:.o=container_name
In all examples, you may enter nds: instead of
dir:.
- Note:
- Objects added after the backup version was created are
not deleted.
- destinationfilespec
- Specifies the path and file name where you want to place the
retrieved files. The path and file name must follow DOS naming
conventions. If you do not specify a destination, Tivoli Storage
Manager restores the files to the original source path.
Examples
- Task
- Restore a single file named budget.
Command: dsmc restore
sys:u/projecta/budget
- Task
- Restore all files with a file extension of .bak from the
sys:projecta directory.
Command: dsmc res
sys:u/projecta/*.bak
- Task
- Restore files in the sys:user/project directory.
Use the pick and inactive options to select active and
inactive backup versions.
Command: dsmc res servb\sys:user/project/*
-pick -inactive
- Task
- Restore all files from the sys:projecta directory that
end with .bak to the sys:projectn
directory.
Attention: If the destination is a directory, specify the
delimiter (/) as the last character of the destination. If you omit the
delimiter and your specified source is a directory or a file spec with a
wildcard, you will receive an error.
Command: dsmc res sys:projecta/*.bak
sys:projectn/
- Task
- Restore all files from the sys:projecta directory that
end with .bak to another directory on a different NetWare
server, serverb\sys:projectn. Projectn need
not exist on serverb.
Command: dsmc restore sys:projecta/*.bak
serverb\sys:projectn/
- Task
- Restore the NDS.
Command: dsmc res T9.dir:* -su=y
-replace=y
- Task
- Restore the .o=ibm organization in the NDS.
Command: dsmc res

Use the pick option and the inactive option.
Command: dsmc res servb\sys:user/projedct/*
