directed recovery question

[Marksmen]

What command line would I use if I wanted to do a directed recovery of directory A on Server A to directory B on Server B. Directories A and B are different pathnames.

You do not have a choice - "recover" is the only one.

The general syntax is like:

recover -s server -c source_client -R dest_client -iY


On Windows, you may of achieve this as well from the NetWorker User program.
With NW 7/Windows, this even works for UNIX/Linux clients.

What command line would I use if I wanted to do a directed recovery of directory A on Server A to directory B on Server B. Directories A and B are different pathnames.

The command I'd suggest is:

recover -s server_name -c souce_client -R target_client -d destination_directory -a -f -t recover_date Directory_A

-d: allows you to specify the altername pathname, i.e. Directory B

-a: automatic recovery without browsing.

-f: overwrite any existing files. (same as -iY)

Make sure to edit the source client's configuration so that you have the user@target_client in the remote access field.
If you're not sure what to out, you can use *@*, but remember to remove this after the recovery is done, since this allows any machine to recover the data from that system
