Restoral of only missing files

[Lylex]

We're running Netbackup 7.5.0.3 on a Solaris 10 server, and the client of interest is Solaris 9.  Don't know the Netbackup client version, sorry.

After a crash, the client's /opt was rebuilt from scratch, but is missing a lot of files.  The sysadmin is hesitant to just do a restoral of /opt.

Is there an option to do a restoral of the filesystem, but only restoring files that are missing...ie, avoid restoring any files that already exist, reguardless of dates on the files?

Thanks...Lyle

Yes, when you start the restore you have the option not to overwrite any files that are already there.

...  if using the command line (bprestore command) you must use the -k option.

   -K   Causes bprestore to keep existing files rather than

          overwrite them when it restores files with the same

          name. The default condition is to overwrite existing

          files.
