About the files that restores generate

The nbtar command and any restore utility that processes tar-formatted images, can generate a number of files depending on the circumstances of the recovery, as Table: Files that restores generate shows.

Table: Files that restores generate

File	Description
@@MaNgLeD.nnnn	For backups containing pathnames longer than 100 characters, nbtar generates the files that are named @@MaNgLeD.nnnn that contain the actual file.
@@MaNgLeD.nnnn_Rename	nbtar generates another file (@@MaNgLeD.nnnn_Rename) that explains how to rename the @@MaNgLeD.nnnn files to return the files to the correct location.
@@MaNgLeD.nnnn_Symlink	For long names of symbolic links, nbtar generates the files that are named @@MaNgLeD.nnnn_Symlink. These files contain descriptions of the symbolic links that must be made to return a link to the correct file.
For cross-platform VxFS extent attribute restores, nbtar creates and stores extent attributes in .ExTeNt.nnnn files in the root directory	The files can either be deleted or read and the extent attributes regenerated by hand to the corresponding files.
