Data Restoration from Tape (UNIX)

This chapter describes the restoration of backed-up data from a tape. For help on how to backup data go to Data Backup.

Restore the backed-up data as follows:

1. Insert the tape with the backed-up data in the streamer of your computer.
2. Change to the directory /usr/oscar/osc<Datum>/work.srv
3. Enter tar xv6
4. Decompress the tar archive by use of the command uncompress <Name>.tar.Z
5. Enter tar xvf <Name>.tar.

Note:

• If a new program / release has been deployed between the data backup and the restoration the data has to be converted. This can be carried out by signing on as oscar and entering oscar convert in the directory /usr/oscar/osc<Datum>/work.srv.
• All UNIX commands are case-sensitive.
• <Datum> in a directory name stands for the release date of the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS software.
