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. Shut down the entity whose files you are restoring.
   • If you are restoring a project, use the cluster administration tool to stop the project.
   • If you are restoring a cluster, use the cluster administration tool to stop each node in the cluster.
2. Extract the files to restore from the backup file.
   For example, to extract files from backup.tar, use:

   cd \
   tar -xvf backup.tar

3. If the files you want to restore were created using the online backup process, rename all .bak files to .log files.
4. Restart the project or cluster.
