RESTORE(1M)RESTORE(1M)NAMErestore - restore files from backup
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sysadm/privbin/restore -f source [ -v ] [ -r root ] [ -E file ] [-l
file ]
DESCRIPTIONrestore is a privileged command that restores files from a backup made by
tar(1) or by cpio(1). restore is little more than a wrapper around
cpio(1) so that privileged users can restore from backups. The
backup(1M) privileged command uses cpio(1) to create its backups.
restore can be run by ordinary users without going through runpriv(1M).
Ordinary users cannot write files in directories they don't have
permission to write, and they cannot overwrite files they don't have
permission to write.
OPTIONS-f source Specify the source where the backup is stored. This is
typically a tape device such as /dev/tape or
user@remotehost:/dev/tape, but can also be a tar(1) or cpio(1)
file for backups to disk.
-v Output of the restore is to be verbose. Specifying -v to
backup causes v to be included in the arguments to cpio(1).
-r root Restore files relative to root. Normally, files are restored
to their original locations, which would overwrite any files of
the same name already there. The -r option can be used to
restore files to an alternate location. If the tar(1) or
cpio(1) archive was created with absolute pathnames, this
option will have no effect.
-E file Specify an input file (file) that contains a list of filenames
to be extracted from the backup (one filename per line).
-l file List files in the backup without restoring any of those files.
The list of files will be displayed to stdout and will also be
sorted and written to the named output file (file).
