Restoring Backup Files on Linux and Solaris Systems

Use the tar -xvf command to restore files from the backup file on Linux and Solaris systems.

  1. Extract the files to restore from the backup file.
    For example, to extract files from backup.tar, use:
    cd \
    tar -xvf backup.tar
  2. If the files you want to restore were created using the online backup process, rename all .bak files to .log files. For example:
    for i in fastraid1/algorithmic1/*.bak; do mv $i ${i%%.bak}.log; done
    This example assumes you are using a ksh or bash shell, and using the same location for all files.
  3. Restart the project server.
