7. After the restore is finished, remove the tape from the drive. Install another tape
that contains the next lowest level of incremental dump.
Example: If you have dump tapes containing level 1, level 2, and level 3 dumps of
/vol/vol0/etc
, load the tape with the level 1 dump in the drive and repeat the
restore
command. Repeat this step until the backup of the highest dump
level, level 3 in this example, is restored.
8. From the client, remove the
restore_symboltable
file in the directory that you just
restored.
9. Repeat Steps 4 through 8 for the
/vol/vol0/home
subtree.

If the two tapes use the same tape device, for example,
rst0a
, remove the tape
currently in the tape drive and load the next tape. Then accept the default tape device
name, for example,
rst0a
, when the filer prompts you for the name of the device
for the second tape.

If you want to restore a specific file or directory from a subtree, use the
x
option in
the
restore
command. Specify the path name of the file or directory relative to the
subtree that was backed up.

vol0
volume was backed up as a subtree and you want to restore all contents of
