Restoring OpenVMS Filesystems

Restoring OpenVMS Filesystems

Use the standard restore procedure to restore OpenVMS filesystems.

Refer to “Standard Restore Procedure” on page 269.

What is Restored?

The directory structure and the files are restored, together with the following filesystem information:

	• The directory and file attributes.
	• ACL (Access Control List) if available (see Limitations below).
	•	Secondary file entries.
		Files with multiple directory entries are backed up once using the
		primary path name. Secondary path entries are saved as soft links.
		During a restore, these extra path entries are restored. Refer to
		“Limitations” in “Backup Specification Configuration Procedure” on
		page 205.
	Files can be restored to mounted FILES-11 ODS-2 or ODS-5 volumes
	only.
Limitations	•	For files and directories saved on any other operating system

platform not all file attributes are restored and no ACL will be restored in this case.

• Directories that are created during a restore but have not been included in a save will get the attributes of the first file restored in the directory unless disabled by the –no_protectionoption.

• Any file specifications that are entered into the GUI or passed to the CLI must be in UNIX style syntax:

/disk/directory1/directory2/filename.ext.n

— The string should begin with a slash, followed by the disk, directories, and filename, separated by slashes.

— Do not place a colon after the disk name.

— A period should be used before the version number instead of a semi-colon.
