Data Recovery 13-9
7. After the restore is finished, remove the tape from the drive. Install another tape
that contains the next lowest level of incremental dump.
Example: If you have dump tapes containing level 1, level 2, and level 3 dumps of
/vol/vol0/etc, load the tape with the level 1 dump in the drive and repeat the
restore command. Repeat this step until the backup of the highest dump
level, level 3 in this example, is restored.
8. From the client, remove the restore_symboltable file in the directory that you just
restored.
9. Repeat Steps 4 through 8 for the /vol/vol0/home subtree.

This section provides examples illustrating how to restore /vol/vol0 that was backed
up to multiple tapes using the following command:

The following command restores the volume to the /vol/vol0/myexample directory
from two tapes that are in different tape drives:
restore rfD rst0a /vol/vol0/myexample
When the restore command prompts you for the next tape drive, enter the name
of the tape drive, for example, rst1a.

If the two tapes use the same tape device, for example, rst0a, remove the tape
currently in the tape drive and load the next tape. Then accept the default tape device
name, for example, rst0a, when the filer prompts you for the name of the device
for the second tape.

If you want to restore a specific file or directory from a subtree, use the x option in
the restore command. Specify the path name of the file or directory relative to the
subtree that was backed up.
([DPSOH
If the vol0 volume was backed up as a subtree and you want to restore all contents of
the /vol/vol0/test directory, specify /test as the path name in the restore
command.
