    bprestore -A -C <client name> </path/filename>

    Example

     

    root@womble testdata $ ls
    file2         file3         file4         incre_backup  /testdata2
     
     
    root@womble testdata $ bprestore -C womble /netbackup/testdata/file1
    root@womble testdata $ ls
    file1         file2         file3         file4         incre_backup  testdata2

     -s date, -e date
              Specifies the start and the end date range for the
              listing. The bprestore command restores only files from
              backups or the archives that occurred within the
              specified start and end date range.
     
              -s specifies a start date and time for the restore
              window.  bprestore restores files only from the backups
              or the archives that occurred at or after the specified
              date and time.
     
     The valid range of dates is from 01/01/1970 00:00:00 to
              01/19/2038 03:14:07. The default start date is
              01/01/1970 00:00:00

    so -s 06/25/2012 00:00:00 -e 06/25/2012 23:59:59 would restore from a backup taken between these two times
