100 | (The |
101 | .Bx 4.3 | |
ddd2ef55 | 102 | option syntax is implemented for backward compatibility but |
1227625a SP |
103 | is not documented here.) |
104 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
105 | The | |
106 | .Nm restore | |
107 | command performs the inverse function of | |
108 | .Xr dump 8 . | |
109 | A full backup of a file system may be restored and | |
110 | subsequent incremental backups layered on top of it. | |
111 | Single files and | |
112 | directory subtrees may be restored from full or partial | |
113 | backups. | |
114 | .Nm Restore | |
115 | works across a network; | |
116 | to do this see the | |
117 | .Fl f | |
118 | flag described below. | |
119 | Other arguments to the command are file or directory | |
120 | names specifying the files that are to be restored. | |
121 | Unless the | |
122 | .Fl h | |
123 | flag is specified (see below), | |
124 | the appearance of a directory name refers to | |
125 | the files and (recursively) subdirectories of that directory. | |
126 | .Pp | |
127 | Exactly one of the following flags is required: | |
128 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | |
129 | .It Fl C | |
130 | This mode allows comparison of files from a dump. | |
131 | .Nm Restore | |
132 | reads the backup and compares its contents with files present on the | |
133 | disk. | |
134 | It first changes its working directory to the root of the filesystem | |
135 | that was dumped and compares the tape with the files in its new | |
136 | current directory. | |
05f23c0c SP |
137 | See also the |
138 | .Fl L | |
139 | flag described below. | |
1227625a SP |
140 | .It Fl i |
141 | This mode allows interactive restoration of files from a dump. | |
142 | After reading in the directory information from the dump, | |
143 | .Nm restore | |
144 | provides a shell like interface that allows the user to move | |
145 | around the directory tree selecting files to be extracted. | |
146 | The available commands are given below; | |
147 | for those commands that require an argument, | |
148 | the default is the current directory. | |
149 | .Bl -tag -width Fl | |
150 | .It Ic add Op Ar arg | |
151 | The current directory or specified argument is added to the list of | |
152 | files to be extracted. | |
153 | If a directory is specified, then it and all its descendents are | |
154 | added to the extraction list | |
155 | (unless the | |
156 | .Fl h | |
157 | flag is specified on the command line). | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
158 | Files that are on the extraction list are prepended with a |
159 | .Dq \&* | |
1227625a SP |
160 | when they are listed by |
161 | .Ic ls . | |
162 | .It Ic \&cd Ar arg | |
163 | Change the current working directory to the specified argument. | |
164 | .It Ic delete Op Ar arg | |
165 | The current directory or specified argument is deleted from the list of | |
166 | files to be extracted. | |
167 | If a directory is specified, then it and all its descendents are | |
168 | deleted from the extraction list | |
169 | (unless the | |
170 | .Fl h | |
171 | flag is specified on the command line). | |
172 | The most expedient way to extract most of the files from a directory | |
173 | is to add the directory to the extraction list and then delete | |
174 | those files that are not needed. | |
175 | .It Ic extract | |
ddd2ef55 | 176 | All files on the extraction list are extracted |
1227625a SP |
177 | from the dump. |
178 | .Nm Restore | |
179 | will ask which volume the user wishes to mount. | |
180 | The fastest way to extract a few files is to | |
ddd2ef55 | 181 | start with the last volume and work towards the first volume. |
1227625a SP |
182 | .It Ic help |
183 | List a summary of the available commands. | |
184 | .It Ic \&ls Op Ar arg | |
185 | List the current or specified directory. | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
186 | Entries that are directories are appended with a |
187 | .Dq \&* . | |
1227625a SP |
188 | Entries that have been marked for extraction are prepended with a ``*''. |
189 | If the verbose | |
ddd2ef55 | 190 | flag is set, the inode number of each entry is also listed. |
1227625a SP |
191 | .It Ic pwd |
192 | Print the full pathname of the current working directory. | |
193 | .It Ic quit | |
194 | Restore immediately exits, | |
195 | even if the extraction list is not empty. | |
196 | .It Ic setmodes | |
ddd2ef55 | 197 | All directories that have been added to the extraction list |
1227625a SP |
198 | have their owner, modes, and times set; |
199 | nothing is extracted from the dump. | |
200 | This is useful for cleaning up after a restore has been prematurely aborted. | |
201 | .It Ic verbose | |
202 | The sense of the | |
203 | .Fl v | |
204 | flag is toggled. | |
205 | When set, the verbose flag causes the | |
206 | .Ic ls | |
207 | command to list the inode numbers of all entries. | |
208 | It also causes | |
209 | .Nm restore | |
210 | to print out information about each file as it is extracted. | |
211 | .El | |
212 | .It Fl R | |
213 | .Nm Restore | |
ddd2ef55 | 214 | requests a particular tape of a multi-volume set on which to restart |
1227625a SP |
215 | a full restore |
216 | (see the | |
217 | .Fl r | |
218 | flag below). | |
219 | This is useful if the restore has been interrupted. | |
220 | .It Fl r | |
ddd2ef55 | 221 | Restore (rebuild) a file system. |
1227625a | 222 | The target file system should be made pristine with |
8d4197bb | 223 | .Xr mke2fs 8 , |
ddd2ef55 | 224 | mounted, and the user |
1227625a SP |
225 | .Xr cd Ns 'd |
226 | into the pristine file system | |
227 | before starting the restoration of the initial level 0 backup. If the | |
228 | level 0 restores successfully, the | |
229 | .Fl r | |
230 | flag may be used to restore | |
231 | any necessary incremental backups on top of the level 0. | |
232 | The | |
233 | .Fl r | |
234 | flag precludes an interactive file extraction and can be | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
235 | detrimental to one's health (not to mention the disk) if not used carefully. |
236 | An example: | |
1227625a | 237 | .Bd -literal -offset indent |
8d4197bb SP |
238 | mke2fs /dev/sda1 |
239 | mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | |
1227625a SP |
240 | cd /mnt |
241 | ||
8d4197bb | 242 | restore rf /dev/st0 |
1227625a SP |
243 | .Ed |
244 | .Pp | |
245 | Note that | |
246 | .Nm restore | |
247 | leaves a file | |
248 | .Pa restoresymtable | |
249 | in the root directory to pass information between incremental | |
250 | restore passes. | |
251 | This file should be removed when the last incremental has been | |
252 | restored. | |
253 | .Pp | |
254 | .Nm Restore , | |
255 | in conjunction with | |
8d4197bb | 256 | .Xr mke2fs 8 |
1227625a SP |
257 | and |
258 | .Xr dump 8 , | |
259 | may be used to modify file system parameters | |
260 | such as size or block size. | |
261 | .It Fl t | |
262 | The names of the specified files are listed if they occur | |
263 | on the backup. | |
264 | If no file argument is given, | |
ddd2ef55 | 265 | the root directory is listed, |
1227625a SP |
266 | which results in the entire content of the |
267 | backup being listed, | |
268 | unless the | |
269 | .Fl h | |
270 | flag has been specified. | |
271 | Note that the | |
272 | .Fl t | |
273 | flag replaces the function of the old | |
274 | .Xr dumpdir 8 | |
275 | program. | |
08db2b86 SP |
276 | See also the |
277 | .Fl X | |
278 | option below. | |
1227625a SP |
279 | .ne 1i |
280 | .It Fl x | |
281 | The named files are read from the given media. | |
282 | If a named file matches a directory whose contents | |
283 | are on the backup | |
284 | and the | |
285 | .Fl h | |
286 | flag is not specified, | |
287 | the directory is recursively extracted. | |
288 | The owner, modification time, | |
289 | and mode are restored (if possible). | |
290 | If no file argument is given, | |
ddd2ef55 | 291 | the root directory is extracted, |
1227625a SP |
292 | which results in the entire content of the |
293 | backup being extracted, | |
294 | unless the | |
295 | .Fl h | |
296 | flag has been specified. | |
08db2b86 SP |
297 | See also the |
298 | .Fl X | |
299 | option below. | |
1227625a SP |
300 | .El |
301 | .Pp | |
302 | The following additional options may be specified: | |
303 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | |
40df6a0e SP |
304 | .It Fl a |
305 | In | |
306 | .Fl i | |
307 | or | |
308 | .Fl x | |
309 | mode, | |
310 | .Nm restore | |
311 | does ask the user for the volume number on which the files to | |
312 | be extracted are supposed to be (in order to minimise the time | |
313 | be reading only the interesting volumes). The | |
314 | .Fl a | |
315 | option disables this behaviour and reads all the volumes starting | |
316 | with 1. This option is useful when the operator does not know on which | |
317 | volume the files to be extracted are and/or when he prefers the | |
318 | longer unattended mode rather than the shorter interactive mode. | |
1227625a SP |
319 | .It Fl b Ar blocksize |
320 | The number of kilobytes per dump record. | |
321 | If the | |
322 | .Fl b | |
323 | option is not specified, | |
324 | .Nm restore | |
b45f51d6 | 325 | tries to determine the media block size dynamically. |
1227625a SP |
326 | .It Fl c |
327 | Normally, | |
328 | .Nm restore | |
329 | will try to determine dynamically whether the dump was made from an | |
b45f51d6 | 330 | old (pre-4.4) or new format file system. The |
1227625a SP |
331 | .Fl c |
332 | flag disables this check, and only allows reading a dump in the old | |
333 | format. | |
334 | .It Fl D Ar filesystem | |
335 | The | |
336 | .Fl D | |
337 | flag allows the user to specify the filesystem name when using | |
338 | .Nm restore | |
339 | with the | |
340 | .Fl C | |
341 | option to check the backup. | |
342 | .It Fl f Ar file | |
343 | Read the backup from | |
344 | .Ar file ; | |
345 | .Ar file | |
346 | may be a special device file | |
347 | like | |
ddd2ef55 | 348 | .Pa /dev/st0 |
1227625a | 349 | (a tape drive), |
8d4197bb | 350 | .Pa /dev/sda1 |
1227625a SP |
351 | (a disk drive), |
352 | an ordinary file, | |
353 | or | |
354 | .Ql Fl | |
355 | (the standard input). | |
356 | If the name of the file is of the form | |
ddd2ef55 | 357 | .Dq host:file |
1227625a SP |
358 | or |
359 | .Dq user@host:file , | |
360 | .Nm restore | |
361 | reads from the named file on the remote host using | |
362 | .Xr rmt 8 . | |
363 | .Pp | |
c534413c SP |
364 | .It Fl F Ar script |
365 | Run script at the beginning of each tape. The device name and the | |
366 | current volume number are passed on the command line. | |
367 | The script must return 0 if | |
368 | .Nm | |
369 | should continue without asking the user to change the tape, 1 if | |
370 | .Nm | |
371 | should continue but ask the user to change the tape. | |
372 | Any other exit code will cause | |
373 | .Nm | |
374 | to abort. | |
375 | For security reasons, | |
376 | .Nm | |
377 | reverts back to the real user ID and the real group ID before | |
378 | running the script. | |
b45f51d6 SP |
379 | .It Fl k |
380 | Use Kerberos authentication when contacting the remote tape server. | |
381 | (Only available if this options was enabled when | |
382 | .Nm restore | |
383 | was compiled.) | |
384 | .Pp | |
1227625a SP |
385 | .It Fl h |
386 | Extract the actual directory, | |
387 | rather than the files that it references. | |
388 | This prevents hierarchical restoration of complete subtrees | |
389 | from the dump. | |
80dea635 SP |
390 | .It Fl l |
391 | When doing remote restores, assume the remote file is a | |
392 | regular file (instead of a tape device). If you're restoring | |
393 | a remote compressed file, you will need to specify this | |
394 | option or | |
395 | .Nm restore | |
396 | will fail to access it correctly. | |
05f23c0c SP |
397 | .It Fl L Ar limit |
398 | The | |
399 | .Fl L | |
400 | flag allows the user to specify a maximal number of miscompares | |
401 | when using | |
402 | .Nm restore | |
403 | with the | |
404 | .Fl C | |
405 | option to check the backup. If this limit is reached, | |
406 | .Nm restore | |
407 | will abort with an error message. A value of 0 (the default value) | |
408 | disables the check. | |
1227625a SP |
409 | .It Fl m |
410 | Extract by inode numbers rather than by file name. | |
411 | This is useful if only a few files are being extracted, | |
412 | and one wants to avoid regenerating the complete pathname | |
413 | to the file. | |
dc7cb1e2 SP |
414 | .It Fl M |
415 | Enables the multi-volume feature (for reading dumps made using | |
416 | the | |
417 | .Fl M | |
418 | option of dump). The name specified with | |
419 | .Fl f | |
420 | is treated as a prefix and | |
421 | .Nm | |
422 | tries to read in sequence from <prefix>001, <prefix>002 etc. | |
1227625a SP |
423 | .It Fl N |
424 | The | |
425 | .Fl N | |
426 | flag causes | |
dc7cb1e2 | 427 | .Nm |
05f23c0c SP |
428 | to perform a full execution as requested by one of |
429 | .Fl i, | |
430 | .Fl R, | |
431 | .Fl r, | |
432 | .Fl t | |
433 | or | |
434 | .Fl x | |
435 | command without actually writing any file on disk. | |
35b24fb7 SP |
436 | .It Fl Q Ar file |
437 | Use the file | |
438 | .Ar file | |
439 | in order to read tape position as stored using the dump Quick File | |
440 | Access mode. | |
b8f7cbe6 SP |
441 | .Pp |
442 | It is recommended to set up the st driver to return logical tape | |
443 | positions rather than physical before calling dump/restore with | |
444 | parameter Q. Since not all tape devices support physical tape | |
445 | positions those tape devices return an error during dump/restore when | |
446 | the st driver is set to the default physical setting. | |
447 | Please see the st man page, option MTSETDRVBUFFER, or the mt man | |
448 | page, on how to set the driver to return logical tape positions. | |
449 | .Pp | |
450 | Before calling restore with parameter Q, always make sure the st | |
451 | driver is set to return the same type of tape position used during the | |
452 | call to dump. Otherwise restore may be confused. | |
103122b3 SP |
453 | .Pp |
454 | This option can be used when restoring from local tapes (see above) | |
455 | or from local files. | |
1227625a SP |
456 | .It Fl s Ar fileno |
457 | Read from the specified | |
458 | .Ar fileno | |
459 | on a multi-file tape. | |
460 | File numbering starts at 1. | |
461 | .It Fl T Ar directory | |
462 | The | |
463 | .Fl T | |
464 | flag allows the user to specify a directory to use for the storage of | |
465 | temporary files. The default value is /tmp. This flag is most useful | |
466 | when restoring files after having booted from a floppy. There might be little | |
467 | or no space on the floppy filesystem, but another source of space might exist. | |

469 | When creating certain types of files, restore may generate a warning | |
470 | diagnostic if they already exist in the target directory. | |
471 | To prevent this, the | |
472 | .Fl u | |
473 | (unlink) flag causes restore to remove old entries before attempting | |
474 | to create new ones. | |

521 | flag has been specified, | |
522 | .Nm restore | |

536 | It is automatically converted to the new file system format. | |
537 | .Pp | |
538 | .It <filename>: not found on tape | |
539 | The specified file name was listed in the tape directory, | |
540 | but was not found on the tape. | |
541 | This is caused by tape read errors while looking for the file, | |
542 | and from using a dump tape created on an active file system. | |

548 | .It Incremental dump too low | |
ddd2ef55 | 549 | When doing an incremental restore, |
1227625a SP |
550 | a dump that was written before the previous incremental dump, |
551 | or that has too low an incremental level has been loaded. | |

ddd2ef55 | 554 | When doing an incremental restore, |
1227625a SP |
555 | a dump that does not begin its coverage where the previous incremental |

562 | A tape (or other media) read error has occurred. | |
563 | If a file name is specified, | |
ddd2ef55 | 564 | its contents are probably partially wrong. |
1227625a | 565 | If an inode is being skipped or the tape is trying to resynchronize, |
ddd2ef55 | 566 | no extracted files have been corrupted, |

637 | .Sh BUGS | |
638 | .Nm Restore | |
639 | can get confused when doing incremental restores from | |
640 | dumps that were made on active file systems. | |
641 | .Pp | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
642 | A level 0 dump must be done after a full restore. |
643 | Because | |
644 | .Nm restore | |
645 | runs in user code, | |
1227625a SP |
646 | it has no control over inode allocation; |
647 | thus a full dump must be done to get a new set of directories | |
648 | reflecting the new inode numbering, | |
ddd2ef55 SP |
649 | even though the content of the files is unchanged. |
650 | .Pp | |
651 | The temporary files | |
652 | .Pa /tmp/rstdir* | |
653 | and | |
654 | .Pa /tmp/rstmode* | |
655 | are generated with a unique name based on the date of the dump | |
656 | and the process ID (see | |
657 | .Xr mktemp 3 ), | |
658 | except when | |
659 | .Fl r | |
660 | or | |
661 | .Fl R | |
662 | is used. | |
663 | Because | |
664 | .Fl R | |
665 | allows you to restart a | |
666 | .Fl r | |
667 | operation that may have been interrupted, the temporary files should | |
668 | be the same across different processes. | |
669 | In all other cases, the files are unique because it is possible to | |
670 | have two different dumps started at the same time, and separate | |
671 | operations shouldn't conflict with each other. | |
b45f51d6 | 672 | .Pp |
0c62667d SP |
673 | To do a network restore, you have to run restore as root or use |
674 | a remote shell replacement (see RSH variable). This is due | |
b45f51d6 SP |
675 | to the previous security history of dump and restore. (restore is |
676 | written to be setuid root, but we are not certain all bugs are gone | |
677 | from the restore code - run setuid at your own risk.) | |
