restoring a file with networker

in this example, I restore an oracle cron file, and then later on show how to restore an earlier oracle cron file
so - first thing I did was invoke the recover command, specifying the networker server (cluster) and client;

eudt0201:root /tmp/cronoratab > /opt/networker/bin/recover -s ukprbknws001 -c eudt0201-bk

/tmp/cronoratab/ not in index

will exit.

and then entered the directory I needed to recover the file from;

Enter directory to browse: /var/spool/cron/crontabs/

recover: Current working directory is /var/spool/cron/crontabs/

help is our friend!

recover> help

Available commands are:

add [-q] [filename] - add `filename' to list of files to be recovered

cd [dir] - change directory to dir

changetime [date] - change the time that you are browsing

debug

delete [filename] - delete `filename' from the recover list

destination - print destination location for recovered files

dir [/w] [filename...] - list filename

exit - immediately exit program

force - overwrite existing files

help or `?' - print this list

lf [-aAcCdfFgilLqrRsStu1] [filename...] - list filename type

list [-c | -l] - list the files marked for recover

ll [-aAcCdfFgilLqrRsStu1] [filename...] - long list filename

ls [-aAcCdfFgilLqrRsStu1] [filename...] - list filename

noforce - do not overwrite existing files

pwd - print current directory

quit - immediately exit program

recover - recover requested files

relocate [dir] - specify new location for recovered files

verbose - toggle verbose mode; feedback about what is going on

versions [filename] - report on each version of file `filename

volumes [filename] - report volumes needed to recover marked files

`filename' can be either a file or a directory

I used 'destination' to check where the file was going to be recovered to;

recover> destination

recover files into their original location

and then changed the destination using relocate;

recover> relocate

will recover files into their original location

New destination directory: /tmp/cronoratab

and confirmed that with the destination command;

recover> destination

recover files into /tmp/cronoratab

listed the files in the direcotry I want to restore from

recover> ls

adm oracle root sys

recover> ls -lrt

total 32

-r-------- root 61 Jun 07 2007 sys

-r-------- root 771 Apr 30 2008 adm

-r-------- root 1157 Jul 04 2008 root

-r-------- root 1 May 21 09:27 oracle

and then added the file I want to recover with the add command

recover> add oracle

1 file(s) marked for recovery

and then recovered it with the recover command

recover> recover

recover: Total estimated disk space needed for recover is 8 KB.

Recovering 1 file from /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ into /tmp/cronoratab

Volumes needed (all on-line):

Requesting 1 file(s), this may take a while...

./oracle

Received 1 file(s) from NSR server `ukprbknws001'

Recover completion time: Wed Jun 10 11:00:28 2009

recover> quit

eudt0201:root /tmp/cronoratab > ls

oracle

and then there is this other example where I needed an earlier file;

recover> ls -lrt

total 32

-r-------- root 61 Jun 07 2007 sys

-r-------- root 771 Apr 30 2008 adm

-r-------- root 1157 Jul 04 2008 root

-r-------- root 1 May 21 09:27 oracle

by using the changetime command and specifying a date in May

recover> changetime May 19

time changed to Tue May 19 23:59:59 2009

recover> ls

adm oracle root sys

recover> ls -lrt

total 32

-r-------- root 61 Jun 07 2007 sys

-r-------- root 771 Apr 30 2008 adm

-r-------- root 1157 Jul 04 2008 root

-r-------- root 3377 Mar 31 07:45 oracle

recover> add oracle

1 file(s) marked for recovery

recover> destination

recover files into /tmp/cronoratab

recover> recover

recover: Total estimated disk space needed for recover is 8 KB.

Hope this helps!
