Restoring i-node backup

[khalidaaa]

Hi all,

I'm trying to restore a file inside a backup tape that was backedup using i-node in the following script:

unmount /image2

backup -0 -uf/dev/rmt0 /image2

if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
  echo "\n\n VOL3 backup completed successfully. "
  echo "ok" > /tmp/weekly_VOL3_backup_status
else
up "
  echo "bad" > /tmp/weekly_VOL3_backup_status
  read
  return
fi

Mount /image2

This backup job takes 3 tapes.

Now i'm trying to restore a directory inside the tape using this command:

restore -xvqf /dev/rmt0 ./images/vault/777/

I run this command on the first tape showing the following output:

any idea why this is happening?? am i using the right command for i-node backups?

try it in interactive mode

restore -if /dev/rmt0.1

not sure if you can do that in an inode backup, and maybe we've already answered that before, but start with vol 1 when it asks. cd to the right dir and "add" the files.

oh Thanks Breslau for this tip

but i did what you said and i still couldn't find the diretory i'm looking for!!!

when i do ls after cd to /images/vault i don't see the directory 777!!! but it should be there coz it was there a week before backing up the system!!!

any comments?
