bprestore

sudo ./bprestore -C win23 -D win23 -R /tmp/dest_path -s 07/14/2012 -e 07/14/2012 /D/epo_Repository/epo46/Sitestat.xml /D/temp/

When i run this above command i get the error,227 .

Please can anybody help what is the issue with this command.

I created a progress log file /tmp/dest_path but does not insert anything in that file.

source server:win23

destination server:win23

source path: /D/epo_Repository/epo46/Sitestat.xml

destination path: /D/temp/

Possibly same issue here with bprestore?

Try specifying the policy type also in your command line

-t policy_type

          Specifies one of the following numbers   that
          corresponds to the policy type. The default is 0
          for all clients except Windows, where the default
          is 13.

Looks like you're restoring for Windows client but via a *NIX server, therefore use the -t option to ensure it's using the correct default.

Also ensure that the client name in the command is as it appears in the NetBackup catalog (typos, FQDN etc).

Not sure whether your overall syntax is correct but it appears that initially it is not even finding what you want to restore

/tmp/dest_path

What is the use of this progress file?Do we need to insert something in it?

-R /tmp/dest_path is the name of a file, that contains (for example ) this ...

change /netbackup/testdata to /tmp/res<CR> (<CR> - Carriage return)

...So if my files wehere backed up from /netbackup/testdata, they would be restore to /tmp/res.

The line HAS to be exactly like I shoewd... with the word change and the <CR> at the end.

What is the /D/temp at the end ? Not sure this is needed.

Here is an example :

bprestore -s STARTDATE -S MASTER -C SOURCE_SERVER -D DESTINATION_SERVER -L LOGFILE -R RENAMEFILE FILE_TO_RESTORE

PLEASE read up in Command Ref Guide on bprestore command reference.

-R is rename file where you specify the source and destination (as per Martin's suggestion above).
-L is log file name.

Also verfy that the actual filename exist in backup set with bplist. See Command Ref guide for command usage.

So I think you need this line :

change /D/epo_Repository/epo46/Sitestat.xml to /D/temp/<CR>

( Where <CR> = Carriage return in the file )

In the file /tmp/dest_path

Then use -R /tmp/dest_path in the command.

capable of doing this yourself.

As far as I can remember I have *never* attempted a restore let alone a re-directed restore from the command line. But, with the excellent advice you have been given already, and a look at the man page for bprestore (*please* DO NOT ask what a man page is), it was no problem at all.

First off (suggested by Marianne) check to see that your file exists using the bplist command:

bplist -C win23 -t 13 -R 99 -s 07/15/2012 -e 07/16/2012 /

(this commmand may well give you a *lot* of output so replace the training "/" with "/D/epo_....etc..etc" i.e. the path to your file)

Create your rename file that you are going to use in your bprestore command as suggested by Martin

e.g. /tmp/rename which contains the line:

change /D/epo_Repository/epo46/Sitestat.xml to /D/temp/Sitestat.xml

(ensure you hit return after entering this line!)

Run your bprestore (this command is all one line):

bprestore -R /tmp/rename -C win23 -D win23 -t 13 -s 07/15/2012 -e 07/16/2012 /D/epo_Repository/epo46/Sitestat.xml

There you go file restored to new location. Time for a coffee if that's ok?!

As Andy says, try with the -t 13 option.

I tested the command on unix to unix, so didn't need it.

Thanks,
