run bprestore command line specify different restore path or folder
I cannot seem to figure out how to restore a folder that is getting backed up, to a different path other than the original. netbackup is making backups of /home/dir1/ this command works fine, restoring /home/dir1 to its original location.
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bprestore -L /tmp/restore.log /home/dir1/
but, how can I specify that I want /home/dir1 tape backup to be saved to say /home/tmp/ folder? Is that possible? I know that via the GUI I can specify a different path, but i'd like to do it via command line. Thanks!
You create a text file that we call a 'rename-file' that contains the source and destination folder, then add the filename to bprestore command with -R option.
See example in this TN: http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO43687
On UNIX and Linux systems: For example, the following entry renames
/usr/fredto/usr/fred2:change /usr/fred to /usr/fred2
So, if you create text file in /tmp called rename, and add the following in the file:
change /home/dir1 to /home/tmp
your command will look like this:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bprestore -L /tmp/restore.log -R /tmp/rename /home/dir1
