How to Recover an Entire Save Set to the Backup Server

To recover an entire save set directly to your disk volume, use the following options to invoke the scanner program:

# scanner -S save-set-id device-name | uasm -rv

This command reads all the information associated with the ssid from the volume and places a copy of this data on the Backup server in the exact way that it is stored on the backup volume. In other words, the backup volume may contain files for a client, but is recovered to the Backup server's hard drive.

If you want to be sure this action is correct before you perform it, add the -n flag to the uasm command. The -n flag sends the output from scanner to /dev/null and lists all the filenames contained in the save set.

You could also use rsh (or its equivalent) in conjunction with the following command to recover the save set to the client, if the save set originated on a Backup client instead of the Backup server:

# scanner -S ssid device-name | rsh client "(cd destdir; /pathto/uasm -rv)"
