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.
