To restore the entire filer, repeat the procedure described in this section for each vol-
ume. This section assumes that you already initialized the disks on your filer.

If you used one
dump
command to back up each volume, follow the procedure in
Example of Restoring a Subtree to restore each volume. The only difference is that
you use
/vol/volume_name as the directory to which the backup is restored.

If you used separate
dump
commands to back up files, directories, and qtrees that
make up each volume, restore each file, directory, and qtree. For example, if the root
volume contains two directories,
/vol/vol0/etc and /vol/vol0/home, and you used the
dump
commands to back them up separately, perform the following steps to restore
the entire volume. In this example, the files are restored from a local tape drive.
1. If you are not restoring qtrees, go to Step 4.
If you want to restore qtrees, go to Step 2.
2. Create directories on the filer using the
qtree
command that is used as the top
of the subtrees to be restored.
Examples:
TWUHHHWF
TWUHHKRPH
3. Set the security for each qtree created in Step 2.
4. Install the tape that contains the level 0 backup for the
/vol/vol0/etc subtree in
the local tape drive.
NOTE: The
restore
command doesnt support incremental-only restores. You
must begin the restoration from a level 0 dump.
5. Enter the
sysconfig -t
command on the filer to determine the name of the
tape device.
6. Enter the following command on the filer:
UHVWRUHUI'UVWDYROYROHWF
This command restores the backup in
rst0a
to the /vol/vol0/etc directory.
If the backup for the subtree is in multiple tape files,
restore
prompts you for
the next tape volume when appropriate. See Examples of Restoring From Multi-
ple Tapes for a sample screen display when more than one tape contains the
dump volume.
