Files backed up with BACKUP.UNET can also be restored using BACKUP.UNET. By default, files are restored from the most recent backup, but can be restored from any other backup you specify. BACKUP.UNET can restore any number of selected files or an entire file system.
You must have specific permission to restore files or you must be a BACKUP.UNET administrator. If you are a user or an operator, you can restore your own files or those to which you had read access when they were backed up. You must also have write permission in the directory where you are restoring the files. If you are a BACKUP.UNET administrator, you can restore all or part of a system.
When files and directories are backed up, they are saved with the date and time they were last modified. During the restore process, a file's modification time is updated to the current time. At the end of the restore process, the file's last modified time is returned to the original date and time. By default, files are restored from the most recent backup, but they can be restored from any other specified backup.
WARNING file filename is too large, skipping...You can restore the indicated files after the restore operation is complete. Use message number 13 in the 'nbkMSGS' file to set a larger ulimit value and then restore any files that were not restored.
See Chapter 7, Customizing the nbkMSGS File for information about using the 'nbkMSGS' file.
During a full system recovery or normal file restoration, symbolic links and directories are restored with the current date and time.
When restoring raw partitions, you must restore the entire partition. You cannot restore only part of a raw partition.
Backup volumes are always created in cpio, cpio -c, or tar format. They can be restored using the appropriate utility (as long as the machine supports that utility).
Refer to your UNIX system documentation for instructions on using these utilities.
