What Is Restored?

When restoring files to the original location from which the backup was

 

performed, Data Protector restores the files, including file attributes.

 

System-specific data, such as ACL (Access Control List) on UNIX, is

 

restored only on the same filesystem type and operating system from

 

which the backup was made.

Restoring Regular

Use the standard restore procedure to restore UNIX files and directories.

UNIX Files

Refer to “Standard Restore Procedure” on page 269.

Restoring VxFS

When restoring VxFS data backed up to a temporary directory, use the

 

Restore As option and restore it to the desired location. Refer to

 

“Restoring Files to Different Paths” on page 299 for information on how

 

to use the Restore As option.

Restoring

Beside restoring backed up data into an OmniStorage controlled file

OmniStorage

system (MFS), Data Protector A.05.10 offers the possibility to restore

Backups

OmniStorage filesystem data backed up with OmniBack II or Data

 

Protector, using a normal filesystem restore on HP-UX 11.x. In this case,

 

the “migration attributes” of OmniStorage, like migration policies, will

 

be lost.

 

OmniStorage files can be restored to any filesystem on HP-UX, but in

 

order to retain the VxFS specific file attributes it is recommended that

 

the target filesystem is of JFS type with a VxFS3 or later layout.
