    Sorry, I'm confusing things

    'rename' will not work, this was only a variable in the script.

    ok. 

    This

     

    -bash-3.2$ cat filelist
    /u27/oradata/MKBP/trace_files/afiedt.buf
     
    Looks fine.
     
    But this ...
     
    -bash-3.2$ cat alt_locate
    change /u27/oradata/MKBP/trace_files/ to /tmp/restore/
     
    ... look at my example, I do not have the last /
     
    So, change this file to this
     
    change /u27/oradata/MKBP/trace_files to /tmp/restore
     
    (Again, make sure there is a carriadge return, so the cusror is on the 2md line)
     
    Then try again.

    define "unable to restore" 

    Are you getting errors?

    Do you not know what commands to run?

    We have given an exact solution to this already, including the exact 'details' to put in the files.

    Marianne suggested using the bplist command to confirm the files are available to restore.  Have you done this ?  For all we know, we could be trying to restore a file that is not available.

    How about using the GUI to do the restore. ?  This will prove the files can be restored.

    Here is the Unix version ...  Windows should be the same.

     

    #Useage - restore.sh <filelist> <startdate>
     
    #Filelist - list of files to restore
    #Startdate - earliest date of backedup files
    #Renamefile - File containg altpath eg.  change /netbackup/testdata to /tmp/res<CR>  (<CR> - Carriage return)
     
    #Define variables
     
    RENAMEFILE=/tmp/res/alt_locate
    LOGFILE=/tmp/res/restore_log.txt
    FILELIST=/tmp/res/filelist
    MASTER=womble  #master server
    SOURCE=womble  #source machine for original backup
    DESTINATION=womble  #destination/ target machine for restored files
    STARTDATE=$1 #Startdate of earlist files to restore format mm/dd/yyyy
     
    #Uncomment the line below if there is a restore file (restoring to an alt location)
    bprestore -s $STARTDATE -S $MASTER -C $SOURCE -D $DESTINATION -L $LOGFILE  -R $RENAMEFILE -f $FILELIST
     
    #Uncomment the line below if you are restoring to the same location
    #bprestore -s $STARTDATE -S $MASTER -C $SOURCE -D $DESTINATION -L $LOGFILE  -f $FILELIST
    root@womble scripts $
     
     
    There are two commands, depending on if you are relocating which you are so the command is :
     
    bprestore -s $STARTDATE -S $MASTER -C $SOURCE -D $DESTINATION -L $LOGFILE  -R $RENAMEFILE -f $FILELIST
     
     
    The top bit explains the files,a nd what to put in them.
     
    This is actually a unix script - it works 100% correctly.  Note, I only used -s <start date> you can use -e <end date> as well.  You will alos need to use -t <type of policy>, mentioned in the other post.

    I missed the other post. What are you restoring from and to. Is a windows box from a  unix server. Are you on the server itself, or are you pushing it from the master? Is it a database or exchange? Or just a flat file?

    I appologize if these questions were answered in the other post.

    USAGE: bprestore [-A | -B] [-K] [-l | -H | -y] [-r] [-T]
          [-L progress_log [-en]] [-R rename_file] [-C client]
          [-D client] [-S master_server] [-disk_media_server media_server]
          [-t policy_type] [-p policy] [-k "keyword phrase"] [-cm] [-drs]
          [-md] [-dd] [-td temp_dir] [-F file_options] [-copy copy_number]
          [-s mm/dd/yyyy  [HH:MM:SS]] [-e mm/dd/yyyy  [HH:MM:SS]]
          [-w [hh:mm:ss]] -f listfile | filenames
          [-BR sharepoint_redirected_portal | sharepoint_redirected_teamsite]
          [-spsredir_server sharepoint_redirected_hostname]
          [-granular_restore] [-priority number]
          [-spsverkeep <0|1|2>] [-spscurver] [-spsignorelock] [-spspreserveiis] [-spsrestoresecurity]

    Please show us your bplist command, and the output of the command.

    Then show us your bprestore command (including contents of any text files used in bprestore command).

    We can only help if show us us exactly what the issue is.

    bprestore works - you just need to have ALL the options correct. One mistake will cause status 227.

    /tmp/res/alt_locate

    change /netbackup/testdata to /tmp/res<CR>   (<CR> means carridge return)

    /tmp/res/filelist

    /netbackup/testdata/file1.txt

     

    Restore log is created when you run the command.

    You need to really get down to what requirement you have, how you tested, show us the exact command you used, what the error you got - only then I guess we can start somewhere. I do believe those who replied had given you plenty of clues to run a test. 

    bprestore can do lots of restore command, and not only typical "MS-Windows" and "Standard" backup type. So there are too many options to explain. Need to be as specific as possible.
