Performing a full restore of a volume containing qtrees

Description

The restore command does not restore qtree information. For example, if you need to restore a volume or a part of a volume that contains qtrees, you must first create the qtrees into which data is to be restored.

Steps

Follow these steps to fully restore a volume containing qtrees.

Step Action
1 Obtain the record of the qtree information as of the last volume backup.
2 Create all qtrees according to the record.
3 Set the security style of each qtree to the value that is the same as when the volume was backed up.
4 If you want to recover the entire volume with one restore command, go to Step 5. Using one restore command requires less time for recovering the entire volume than using multiple restore commands. If you want to use multiple restore command to recover all qtrees in the volume, go to Step 6. Using multiple restore commands enables you to quickly recover those qtrees that are needed the most.
5 Enter the restore command to recover the entire volume.
Example
restore rfD rst0a /vol/vol0
6 Enter the restore command to restore each qtree in the volume.
Examples
restore xfD rst0a /vol/vol0/NTusers /NTusers
restore xfD rst0a /vol/vol0/UNIXusers /UNIXusers
