Retrieve Partial

The fsretrieve command supports partial file copy to disk

Files

from media. A new file name is required, as well as a start and

 

ending byte for the file data. With these parameters, the part of

 

the file specified in the byte range is copied onto disk into the

 

new file name.

 

The byte range is zero relative, meaning that if the file size (in

 

bytes) is known, any part of the file is retrieved by specifying a

 

range of bytes between 0 and the last byte (file size -1). File size

 

information can be obtained with the UNIX ls command or

 

the fsmedinfo report.

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For more information on the fsretrieve command, refer to

 

 

the Command Reference book.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1.

Run the fsretrieve command. Specify one or

 

 

more file names to retrieve. Or, specify a single file

 

 

name to retrieve.

 

Step 2.

Specify the -nnewfilename into which you want

 

 

to retrieve the specified file. The new filename must

 

 

be in a local file system. Retrieval to an

 

 

NFS-mounted file system is not permitted. Usually,

 

 

the primary copy of the file is retrieved.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Partial retrieval requires the use of the -n

 

 

 

newfilename parameter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use other options as appropriate.
