Chapter 3: Recovering Files

Recovering a Group of Files

You can recover a group of files with common character patterns in their filenames. For

example, if you have a directory with five files starting with the letter r, you can recover

those files by entering the minimum number of characters that form a pattern and

substituting an asterisk for the different characters. NetWorker searches for the files

with the matching patterns.

Table 2 shows some sample search patterns.

This section assumes that you have started the NSRRECOV program, changed to the

save set where the saved files reside, and listed the files.

To recover a group of files, follow these steps:

1. Mark the files that you want to recover by entering the NetWorker add command,

then enter the characters that create a common pattern in the filename and

substitute an asterisk for the different characters in the filename, as in the following

example:

recover> add

The following message is displayed:

5 file(s) marked for recovery

2. Start the recovery process as follows:

recover> recover

NetWorker displays the following message:

Recovering 5 files into their original locations

Volumes needed (all on-line):

jupiter.012 at /source/rmt/data

Requesting 5 file(s), this may take a while...
