Restoring UNIX Systems

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
UNIX Files

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

Beside restoring backed up data into an OmniStorage controlled file
system (MFS), Data Protector A.05.10 offers the possibility to restore
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.

Restoring Disk
Images

Refer to “Restoring Disk Images” on page 273.

Restoring to a
Shared Disk

Refer to “Restoring Your Data to a Shared Disk” on page 275.
