Task
Description
For Instructions
Prepare to restore files and file systems.
Identify the file systems or files to be restored, the tape device, and how you will restore them.
Determine which tapes to use.
Refer to your backup tapes to find the date of the last backup that contains the file or file system that you need to restore.
Restore files.
Choose one of the following restore methods:
Restore files interactively – Use this method when you are unsure of the file names because you can browse the media contents and select individual files and directories.
Restore files noninteractively – Use this method when you already know the few file names to be restored.
Restore a file system – Use this method when you get a new disk drive or as part of a recovery procedure.
Restore the root (/) or /usr file systems.
Restoring the root (/) or /usr file systems involves booting the system from a local CD or the network.
