To activate block-level restore

• Create the following (empty) file on the client:

  /usr/openv/netbackup/PFI_BLI_RESTORE

  After this file is created, all subsequent restores of the client's data use block-level restore.

To deactivate block-level restore

• Delete (or rename) the PFI_BLI_RESTORE file.

  When block-level restore is activated, it is used for all files in the restore. Block-level restore may not be appropriate for all of the files. It may take longer to restore a large number of small files, because they must first be mapped.
