96 | (The |

ddd2ef55 | 98 | option syntax is implemented for backward compatibility but |
1227625a SP |
99 | is not documented here.) |
100 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
101 | The | |
102 | .Nm restore | |
103 | command performs the inverse function of | |
104 | .Xr dump 8 . | |
105 | A full backup of a file system may be restored and | |
106 | subsequent incremental backups layered on top of it. | |
107 | Single files and | |
108 | directory subtrees may be restored from full or partial | |
109 | backups. | |
110 | .Nm Restore | |
111 | works across a network; | |
112 | to do this see the | |
113 | .Fl f | |
114 | flag described below. | |
115 | Other arguments to the command are file or directory | |
116 | names specifying the files that are to be restored. | |
117 | Unless the | |
118 | .Fl h | |
119 | flag is specified (see below), | |
120 | the appearance of a directory name refers to | |
121 | the files and (recursively) subdirectories of that directory. | |
122 | .Pp | |
123 | Exactly one of the following flags is required: | |
124 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | |
125 | .It Fl C | |
126 | This mode allows comparison of files from a dump. | |
127 | .Nm Restore | |
128 | reads the backup and compares its contents with files present on the | |
129 | disk. | |
130 | It first changes its working directory to the root of the filesystem | |
131 | that was dumped and compares the tape with the files in its new | |
132 | current directory. | |
133 | .It Fl i | |
134 | This mode allows interactive restoration of files from a dump. | |
135 | After reading in the directory information from the dump, | |
136 | .Nm restore | |
137 | provides a shell like interface that allows the user to move | |
138 | around the directory tree selecting files to be extracted. | |
139 | The available commands are given below; | |
140 | for those commands that require an argument, | |
141 | the default is the current directory. | |
142 | .Bl -tag -width Fl | |
143 | .It Ic add Op Ar arg | |
144 | The current directory or specified argument is added to the list of | |
145 | files to be extracted. | |
146 | If a directory is specified, then it and all its descendents are | |
147 | added to the extraction list | |
148 | (unless the | |
149 | .Fl h | |
150 | flag is specified on the command line). | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
151 | Files that are on the extraction list are prepended with a |
152 | .Dq \&* | |
1227625a SP |
153 | when they are listed by |
154 | .Ic ls . | |
155 | .It Ic \&cd Ar arg | |
156 | Change the current working directory to the specified argument. | |
157 | .It Ic delete Op Ar arg | |
158 | The current directory or specified argument is deleted from the list of | |
159 | files to be extracted. | |
160 | If a directory is specified, then it and all its descendents are | |
161 | deleted from the extraction list | |
162 | (unless the | |
163 | .Fl h | |
164 | flag is specified on the command line). | |
165 | The most expedient way to extract most of the files from a directory | |
166 | is to add the directory to the extraction list and then delete | |
167 | those files that are not needed. | |
168 | .It Ic extract | |
ddd2ef55 | 169 | All files on the extraction list are extracted |
1227625a SP |
170 | from the dump. |
171 | .Nm Restore | |
172 | will ask which volume the user wishes to mount. | |
173 | The fastest way to extract a few files is to | |
ddd2ef55 | 174 | start with the last volume and work towards the first volume. |
1227625a SP |
175 | .It Ic help |
176 | List a summary of the available commands. | |
177 | .It Ic \&ls Op Ar arg | |
178 | List the current or specified directory. | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
179 | Entries that are directories are appended with a |
180 | .Dq \&* . | |
1227625a SP |
181 | Entries that have been marked for extraction are prepended with a ``*''. |
182 | If the verbose | |
ddd2ef55 | 183 | flag is set, the inode number of each entry is also listed. |
1227625a SP |
184 | .It Ic pwd |
185 | Print the full pathname of the current working directory. | |
186 | .It Ic quit | |
187 | Restore immediately exits, | |
188 | even if the extraction list is not empty. | |
189 | .It Ic setmodes | |
ddd2ef55 | 190 | All directories that have been added to the extraction list |
1227625a SP |
191 | have their owner, modes, and times set; |
192 | nothing is extracted from the dump. | |
193 | This is useful for cleaning up after a restore has been prematurely aborted. | |
194 | .It Ic verbose | |
195 | The sense of the | |
196 | .Fl v | |
197 | flag is toggled. | |
198 | When set, the verbose flag causes the | |
199 | .Ic ls | |
200 | command to list the inode numbers of all entries. | |
201 | It also causes | |
202 | .Nm restore | |
203 | to print out information about each file as it is extracted. | |
204 | .El | |
205 | .It Fl R | |
206 | .Nm Restore | |
ddd2ef55 | 207 | requests a particular tape of a multi-volume set on which to restart |
1227625a SP |
208 | a full restore |
209 | (see the | |
210 | .Fl r | |
211 | flag below). | |
212 | This is useful if the restore has been interrupted. | |
213 | .It Fl r | |
ddd2ef55 | 214 | Restore (rebuild) a file system. |
1227625a | 215 | The target file system should be made pristine with |
8d4197bb | 216 | .Xr mke2fs 8 , |
ddd2ef55 | 217 | mounted, and the user |
1227625a SP |
218 | .Xr cd Ns 'd |
219 | into the pristine file system | |
220 | before starting the restoration of the initial level 0 backup. If the | |
221 | level 0 restores successfully, the | |
222 | .Fl r | |
223 | flag may be used to restore | |
224 | any necessary incremental backups on top of the level 0. | |
225 | The | |
226 | .Fl r | |
227 | flag precludes an interactive file extraction and can be | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
228 | detrimental to one's health (not to mention the disk) if not used carefully. |
229 | An example: | |
1227625a | 230 | .Bd -literal -offset indent |
8d4197bb SP |
231 | mke2fs /dev/sda1 |
232 | mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | |
1227625a SP |
233 | cd /mnt |
234 | ||
8d4197bb | 235 | restore rf /dev/st0 |
1227625a SP |
236 | .Ed |
237 | .Pp | |
238 | Note that | |
239 | .Nm restore | |
240 | leaves a file | |
241 | .Pa restoresymtable | |
242 | in the root directory to pass information between incremental | |
243 | restore passes. | |
244 | This file should be removed when the last incremental has been | |
245 | restored. | |
246 | .Pp | |
247 | .Nm Restore , | |
248 | in conjunction with | |
8d4197bb | 249 | .Xr mke2fs 8 |
1227625a SP |
250 | and |
251 | .Xr dump 8 , | |
252 | may be used to modify file system parameters | |
253 | such as size or block size. | |
254 | .It Fl t | |
255 | The names of the specified files are listed if they occur | |
256 | on the backup. | |
257 | If no file argument is given, | |
ddd2ef55 | 258 | the root directory is listed, |
1227625a SP |
259 | which results in the entire content of the |
260 | backup being listed, | |
261 | unless the | |
262 | .Fl h | |
263 | flag has been specified. | |
264 | Note that the | |
265 | .Fl t | |
266 | flag replaces the function of the old | |
267 | .Xr dumpdir 8 | |
268 | program. | |
08db2b86 SP |
269 | See also the |
270 | .Fl X | |
271 | option below. | |
1227625a SP |
272 | .ne 1i |
273 | .It Fl x | |
274 | The named files are read from the given media. | |
275 | If a named file matches a directory whose contents | |
276 | are on the backup | |
277 | and the | |
278 | .Fl h | |
279 | flag is not specified, | |
280 | the directory is recursively extracted. | |
281 | The owner, modification time, | |
282 | and mode are restored (if possible). | |
283 | If no file argument is given, | |
ddd2ef55 | 284 | the root directory is extracted, |
1227625a SP |
285 | which results in the entire content of the |
286 | backup being extracted, | |
287 | unless the | |
288 | .Fl h | |
289 | flag has been specified. | |
08db2b86 SP |
290 | See also the |
291 | .Fl X | |
292 | option below. | |
1227625a SP |
293 | .El |
294 | .Pp | |
295 | The following additional options may be specified: | |
296 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | |
297 | .It Fl b Ar blocksize | |
298 | The number of kilobytes per dump record. | |
299 | If the | |
300 | .Fl b | |
301 | option is not specified, | |
302 | .Nm restore | |
b45f51d6 | 303 | tries to determine the media block size dynamically. |
1227625a SP |
304 | .It Fl c |
305 | Normally, | |
306 | .Nm restore | |
307 | will try to determine dynamically whether the dump was made from an | |
b45f51d6 | 308 | old (pre-4.4) or new format file system. The |
1227625a SP |
309 | .Fl c |
310 | flag disables this check, and only allows reading a dump in the old | |
311 | format. | |
312 | .It Fl D Ar filesystem | |
313 | The | |
314 | .Fl D | |
315 | flag allows the user to specify the filesystem name when using | |
316 | .Nm restore | |
317 | with the | |
318 | .Fl C | |
319 | option to check the backup. | |
320 | .It Fl f Ar file | |
321 | Read the backup from | |
322 | .Ar file ; | |
323 | .Ar file | |
324 | may be a special device file | |
325 | like | |
ddd2ef55 | 326 | .Pa /dev/st0 |
1227625a | 327 | (a tape drive), |
8d4197bb | 328 | .Pa /dev/sda1 |
1227625a SP |
329 | (a disk drive), |
330 | an ordinary file, | |
331 | or | |
332 | .Ql Fl | |
333 | (the standard input). | |
334 | If the name of the file is of the form | |
ddd2ef55 | 335 | .Dq host:file |
1227625a SP |
336 | or |
337 | .Dq user@host:file , | |
338 | .Nm restore | |
339 | reads from the named file on the remote host using | |
340 | .Xr rmt 8 . | |
341 | .Pp | |
b45f51d6 SP |
342 | .It Fl k |
343 | Use Kerberos authentication when contacting the remote tape server. | |
344 | (Only available if this options was enabled when | |
345 | .Nm restore | |
346 | was compiled.) | |
347 | .Pp | |
1227625a SP |
348 | .It Fl h |
349 | Extract the actual directory, | |
350 | rather than the files that it references. | |
351 | This prevents hierarchical restoration of complete subtrees | |
352 | from the dump. | |
353 | .It Fl m | |
354 | Extract by inode numbers rather than by file name. | |
355 | This is useful if only a few files are being extracted, | |
356 | and one wants to avoid regenerating the complete pathname | |
357 | to the file. | |
dc7cb1e2 SP |
358 | .It Fl M |
359 | Enables the multi-volume feature (for reading dumps made using | |
360 | the | |
361 | .Fl M | |
362 | option of dump). The name specified with | |
363 | .Fl f | |
364 | is treated as a prefix and | |
365 | .Nm | |
366 | tries to read in sequence from <prefix>001, <prefix>002 etc. | |
1227625a SP |
367 | .It Fl N |
368 | The | |
369 | .Fl N | |
370 | flag causes | |
dc7cb1e2 SP |
371 | .Nm |
372 | to only print file names. Files are not extracted. | |
35b24fb7 SP |
373 | .It Fl Q Ar file |
374 | Use the file | |
375 | .Ar file | |
376 | in order to read tape position as stored using the dump Quick File | |
377 | Access mode. | |
1227625a SP |
378 | .It Fl s Ar fileno |
379 | Read from the specified | |
380 | .Ar fileno | |
381 | on a multi-file tape. | |
382 | File numbering starts at 1. | |
383 | .It Fl T Ar directory | |
384 | The | |
385 | .Fl T | |
386 | flag allows the user to specify a directory to use for the storage of | |
387 | temporary files. The default value is /tmp. This flag is most useful | |
388 | when restoring files after having booted from a floppy. There might be little | |
389 | or no space on the floppy filesystem, but another source of space might exist. | |
b45f51d6 SP |
390 | .It Fl u |
391 | When creating certain types of files, restore may generate a warning | |
392 | diagnostic if they already exist in the target directory. | |
393 | To prevent this, the | |
394 | .Fl u | |
395 | (unlink) flag causes restore to remove old entries before attempting | |
396 | to create new ones. | |
1227625a SP |
397 | .It Fl v |
398 | Normally | |
399 | .Nm restore | |
400 | does its work silently. | |
401 | The | |
402 | .Fl v | |
403 | (verbose) | |
404 | flag causes it to type the name of each file it treats | |
405 | preceded by its file type. | |
08db2b86 | 406 | .It Fl X Ar filelist |
1a05d45d | 407 | Read list of files to be listed or extracted from the text file |
08db2b86 | 408 | .Ar filelist |
1a05d45d | 409 | in addition to those specified on the command line. This can be used in |
08db2b86 SP |
410 | conjunction with the |
411 | .Fl t | |
412 | or | |
413 | .Fl x | |
414 | commands. The file | |
415 | .Ar filelist | |
416 | should contain file names separated by newlines. | |
1a05d45d SP |
417 | .Ar filelist |
418 | may be an ordinary file or | |
419 | .Ql Fl | |
420 | (the standard input). | |
1227625a SP |
421 | .It Fl y |
422 | Do not ask the user whether to abort the restore in the event of an error. | |
423 | Always try to skip over the bad block(s) and continue. | |
424 | .El | |
425 | .Sh DIAGNOSTICS | |
ddd2ef55 | 426 | Complains if it gets a read error. |
1227625a SP |
427 | If |
428 | .Fl y | |
429 | has been specified, or the user responds | |
430 | .Ql y , | |
431 | .Nm restore | |
432 | will attempt to continue the restore. | |
433 | .Pp | |
434 | If a backup was made using more than one tape volume, | |
435 | .Nm restore | |
436 | will notify the user when it is time to mount the next volume. | |
437 | If the | |
438 | .Fl x | |
439 | or | |
440 | .Fl i | |
441 | flag has been specified, | |
442 | .Nm restore | |
443 | will also ask which volume the user wishes to mount. | |
444 | The fastest way to extract a few files is to | |
445 | start with the last volume, and work towards the first volume. | |
446 | .Pp | |
447 | There are numerous consistency checks that can be listed by | |
448 | .Nm restore . | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
449 | Most checks are self-explanatory or can |
450 | .Dq never happen . | |
1227625a SP |
451 | Common errors are given below. |
452 | .Pp | |
453 | .Bl -tag -width Ds -compact | |
ddd2ef55 | 454 | .It Converting to new file system format |
1227625a SP |
455 | A dump tape created from the old file system has been loaded. |
456 | It is automatically converted to the new file system format. | |
457 | .Pp | |
458 | .It <filename>: not found on tape | |
459 | The specified file name was listed in the tape directory, | |
460 | but was not found on the tape. | |
461 | This is caused by tape read errors while looking for the file, | |
462 | and from using a dump tape created on an active file system. | |
463 | .Pp | |

556 | .Sh BUGS | |
557 | .Nm Restore | |
558 | can get confused when doing incremental restores from | |
559 | dumps that were made on active file systems. | |
560 | .Pp | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
561 | A level 0 dump must be done after a full restore. |
562 | Because | |
563 | .Nm restore | |
564 | runs in user code, | |
1227625a SP |
565 | it has no control over inode allocation; |
566 | thus a full dump must be done to get a new set of directories | |
567 | reflecting the new inode numbering, | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
568 | even though the content of the files is unchanged. |
569 | .Pp | |
570 | The temporary files | |
571 | .Pa /tmp/rstdir* | |
572 | and | |
573 | .Pa /tmp/rstmode* | |
574 | are generated with a unique name based on the date of the dump | |
575 | and the process ID (see | |
576 | .Xr mktemp 3 ), | |
577 | except when | |
578 | .Fl r | |
579 | or | |
580 | .Fl R | |
581 | is used. | |
582 | Because | |
583 | .Fl R | |
584 | allows you to restart a | |
585 | .Fl r | |
586 | operation that may have been interrupted, the temporary files should | |
587 | be the same across different processes. | |
588 | In all other cases, the files are unique because it is possible to | |
589 | have two different dumps started at the same time, and separate | |
590 | operations shouldn't conflict with each other. | |
b45f51d6 | 591 | .Pp |
0c62667d SP |
592 | To do a network restore, you have to run restore as root or use |
593 | a remote shell replacement (see RSH variable). This is due | |
b45f51d6 SP |
594 | to the previous security history of dump and restore. (restore is |
595 | written to be setuid root, but we are not certain all bugs are gone | |
596 | from the restore code - run setuid at your own risk.) | |
