Restore files from backupid on other client's filesystem
- 4 years ago
Try to add the client name to bpflist.
It seems that the default is to use client name as local host where the command is executed.Try this:
bpflist -client <name> -backupid <backup-id>
You may need to add a date range as well, as some commands defaults to last 24 hours.It is not possible to specify backup id to restore - the backup id represents the 'header' info. All the stuff that you get from bpimagelist. Part of the header info is the 'files'-file that contains file paths. Depending on the number of files in the backup, the 'files'-file could be a collection of files.
The easiest way to get the list is with bplist and/or bpflist.My recommendation is to use a rename file.
Please be prepared for initial failures - bprestore is not the easiest command to master.
Even after reading the bprestore command reference, it took me a while to get it right for a customer.
Something as simple as a <CR> at the end of the rename file could cause the command to fail.You may want to perform a test redirected restore from the GUI with bprestore log folder in place on the master.
Have a good look in bprestore log at the commands that NBU uses, and try to use that as a template for your bprestore command.Good luck!
