Use the restore command if you want to recover data that was backed up by the
filers dump command. After you recover the data, the files contain the same data as
they did when you ran the dump command. You can use the restore command at
any time.

This section describes the restrictions of the restore command.
D pathname Specifies the absolute path name of a directory
into which the files are restored. Without the path
name, the files are restored to the directory from
which they were backed up.
If you created a backup before you installed multi-
ple volumes on the filer, specify the path name into
which the backup is restored. For example, if you
backed up the /home directory when the filer con-
tained a single volume and you want to restore
/home to /vol/engineering/home, specify /vol/
engineering/home as the target path name in the
restore command. Otherwise, the home backup
is restored to the /home directory of the root
volume.
s number Specifies the number of the file if multiple tape
files exist on a tape. File numbering starts at 1.
vSpecifies that restore takes place in verbose
mode. That is, restore displays each file name
preceded with its file type. The filer restores files
faster without the v option.
ySpecifies that restore not ask whether it should
terminate when getting an error. That is, if there are
bad blocks, restore skips over them and contin-
ues. This option is particularly useful if you use
restore through rsh. This is because without
the y option, if restore through rsh encounters
a read error, it terminates immediately.
ASpecifies that restore does not restore
Windows NT ACLs.
