RECOVERING a file How do I recover a file from my backup volume? ---------------------------------------------- If you have something called OldFiles in your home directory, that is your backup mountpoint. To recover a file from your backup volume, find the file in OldFiles, or one of the subdirectories in there. When you have found it, you can retrieve that file into your home directory by typing: cp filename ~/ You can then move it to wherever it belongs in your original directory. If you do not have the OldFiles mount in your home directory, you have to create one. To do so, type: fs mkm OldFiles user.username.backup (where "username" is your username). Then follow the directions above. If you wish to remove this mount when you are done, type: fs rmm OldFiles For more information about OldFiles, see: http://web.mit.edu/answers/unix/afs/afs_oldfiles.html If you're seeking to retrieve a file that was deleted on a previous day, see: http://web.mit.edu/answers/unix/afs/afs_restore.html Last updated: 6/8/2007 |
