bprestore CLI command

does your file list contain spaces?

-f listfile

Specifies a file (listfile) that contains a list of files to be restored and can

be used instead of the filenames option. In listfile, list each file path

on a separate line.

The required format for the file list depends on whether the files have

spaces or newlines in the names.

To restore the files that do not have spaces or new lines in the names, use

this format:

filepath

Where filepath is the path to the file that you restore. For example:

/home

/etc

/var

To restore the files that have spaces or new lines in the names, use one of

the following formats:

filepathlen filepath

filepathlen filepath start_date_time end_date_time

filepathlen filepath -s datetime -e datetime

The filepath is the path to the file you restore.

The filepathlen is the total number of characters in the file path.

The start_date_time and end_date_time are the decimal number of seconds

since 01/01/1970 00:00:00.

datetime is the same as the command line (mm/dd/yy [hh[:mm[:ss]]]). The

command uses the start date, end date, and time from the command line

unless a line in listfile overrides it. The dates may change from line to line.

The user’s locale affects how dates and time are specified. See NOTES.

To exclude a file or a directory path that was previously included in the

restore, place an exclamation mark (!) in front of the file or the directory

path. (Exception: NDMP restores)

The following is an example that uses filepathlen filepath:

5 /home

4 /etc

4 /var

19 /home/abc/test file

12 !/etc/passwd

Thanks in advance for the answer.

Really I inserted the files without any spaces, but the problem is that I have the same problem also if  I insert only one file such as /path/path1/file810.DEL

Now I will try to insert space ...

Thanks

@ I tried with the spaces but I have always the same error...

You preceded the path with the number corresponding to length of the pathname (such as

19 /home/abc/test file) and it still says 'Invalid line length in line' ?

-s  and -e needs date and time

# bprestore -s 04/01/10 06:00:00 -e 04/10/10 18:00:00 C:\user1\file1 

I inserted the "number" lenght and time but the problem is still here..

This is my command

bprestore -B -L c:\temp\log1.txt -C source_host -D destination_host -s 11/30/2008 00:00:00 -e 12/04/2008 23:59:59 -R c:\temp\pippo.txt -f c:\temp\topolino.txt

Invalid line length in line:

EXIT STATUS 144: invalid command usage

topolino.txt is

51 /BDAREA_BCK/ARCHIVIO/UDBDAD01.XBD.CSRTFID200810.DEL

only one file...

it does not link the line length.

did you try it with just adding the time and not adding the line length.

Meaning going back to your files on you first attempt, and just add the time to your command.

I also wonder if your file has to have full path and file name.

the example in man page never shows just a path change but a whole path/file name change.

Have you tried that?

I tried without length, but i have always the same error

but i don't understand the second part.

My files are

topolino.txt

/BDAREA_BCK/ARCHIVIO/UDBDAD01.XBD.CSRTFID200810.DEL  ( in this case i tried only with a single file)

and pippo.txt

change /BDAREA_BCK/ARCHIVIO/ to /C/temp/CRSTD_BD/

The command line is:

bprestore -B -L c:\temp\log1.txt -C source_client -D destination_client -s 11/30/2008 00:00:00 -e 12/04/2008 23:59:59 -R c:\temp\pippo.txt -f c:\temp\topolino.txt

Is pipp.txt wrong ?

in the examples they always show

/path1/path2/filename  C:/temp/filename

you are only puting in the dir's

I would test using the dirs/filename   C:\dirs\filename

and see if that works.

Which result did not change - status 227 or invalid syntax ?

Have you added '-t 0' to bprestore command?
