Restoring VAX/VMS Client

Restore the backed up VAX/VMS client data to the Linux client, to the NFS mount point directory.

Procedure

1. On the Commserve computer, browse to the directory on the Linux client that was mounted, and has the BACKUP output.

2. Select all the files in that directory, and complete the following steps to perform a restore:

   • To restore the backed up save set files and overwrite the existing files, select the Unconditionally Overwrite option.

   • To restore the save set files and preserve the files that were backed up:

     • Clear the Restore to the same folder option.

     • Browse to the backup directory (/lab/hpux03), and create a new sub-directory with name restore.

     • Select the newly-created directory (restore) as the target directory.

3. On the Linux client, navigate to the directory where the save set files were restored, and verify the restored files.

   [root@linuxserver restore]# pwd
   /lab/hpux03/restore
   [root@linuxserver restore]# ls -l
   total 4
   drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jan  5 09:06 hpux03
   [root@linuxserver restore]# cd hpux03
   [root@linuxserver hpux03]# ls -la
   total 392796
   drwxrwxrwx 2 root       root            4096 Jan  5 09:06 .
   drwxrwxrwx 3 root       root            4096 Jan  5 09:25 ..
   -rwxr-xr-- 1 4294967294 4294967294        90 Jan  5 09:00 .$ADF$x.bck;1
   -rwxr-x--- 1 4294967294 4294967294 401812992 Jan  5 09:05 x.bck
   [root@holygrail hpux03]#
   

4. On the VAX/VMS system, navigate to the NFS mount directory.

   $ SET DEF _DNFS1:[000000]
   $ DIR
   Directory DNFS1:[000000]
   RESTORE.DIR;1       X.BCK;1
   Total of 2 files.
   $ SET DEF [.RESTORE.HPUX03]
   $ DIR
   Directory DNFS1:[000000.RESTORE.HPUX03]
   X.BCK;1
   Total of 1 file.
   $
   

5. Restore some or all of the data from the save set file.

   Example:

   $ BACKUP X.BCK/SAVE_SET/SELECT=[DATA*...] DKA0:[OOP]
   $
