Restarting a restore with the brrestore -f option

You can use the brrestore command's -f option to restore only the files that failed to be restored. You do not have to specify that all files be restored again.

To restart a restore

  • Run the brrestore command with the -f logfile parameter.

    For logfile, specify one of the following:

    • The log file name of the failed job. When the log file is specified, brrestore checks it for the files that were not restored successfully.

    • The keyword last. When this keyword is specified, brbackup checks the status of the last restore job for the files that were not restored successfully.

The brrestore command examines the specified file. It determines the files that were restored successfully and the files that were not restored successfully. brrestore sends backint the list of files that still need to be restored. brrestore starts a new job only for the files that still need to be restored.

The following command specifies a log file:

brrestore -d util_file -m all -f rdsqcxdf.rsb

The following command specifies the last restore job:

brrestore -d util_file -m all -f last
