ls [directory-name]

Lists the contents of either the current directory or the specified directory. Directories are marked by a / suffix and entries in the current list to be restored (extracted) are marked by an * prefix. Inode numbers are shown if the verbose option is used.

cd directory-name

Changes to the specified directory in the backup hierarchy. 

add [filename]

Adds the current directory or the specified file or directory to the list of files to extract (restore). If you do not use the h option, all files in a specified directory and its subdirectories are added to the list. All the files you want to restore to a directory might not be on a single backup tape or diskette. You might need to restore from multiple backups at different levels to get the latest revisions of all the files.

delete [filename]

Deletes the current directory or the specified file or directory from the list of files to extract (restore). If you do not use the h option, all files in the specified directory and its subdirectories are deleted from the list. The files and directories are deleted only from the extract list you are building. They are not deleted from the media or the file system.

extract

Extracts the files in the list and restores them relative to the current working directory on the disk. Specify 1 when asked for a volume number for a single-volume backup. If you are doing a multitape or multidiskette restore and restoring a small number of files, start with the last tape or diskette instead.

help

Displays a list of commands you can use in interactive mode. 

pwd

Displays the path name of the current working directory in the backup hierarchy. 

q

Quits interactive mode without restoring any additional files. 

setmodes

Lets you set the mode for files to be restored to match the mode of the root directory of the file system from which they were backed up. You are prompted with: set owner/mode for '.' [yn]? Type y (for yes) to set the mode (permissions, owner, times) of the current directory to match the root directory of the file system from which they were backed up. Use this mode when restoring a whole file system.

Type n (for no) to leave the mode of the current directory unchanged. Use this mode when restoring part of a backup to a directory other than the one from which the files were backed up.

verbose

Turns on or off the verbose option (which can also be entered as v on the command line outside of interactive mode). When verbose is on, the interactive ls command lists inode numbers and the ufsrestore command displays information on each file as it is extracted.

what

Displays the backup header from the tape or diskette.
