Hi Simon,

Am I missing something? Why not just use cli  - bprestore with the -f option? 
I'm on my mobile, so don't have the rest of the syntax to hand, but other than 
the over write flag, and some date qualifiers, that should be all you need...

Cheers,
Nic

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restoration Issue

Hi,
Got a File Server with a share that is approx 400GB and contains millions of 
files.
San Media Win2k3 Sp2 & NBU 7.0.1 talking to a 7.0.1 Master

Problem: We have identified 40,000 files, of various types (ie: word, excel, 
jpeg, bmp, pdf) that are ZERO bytes. They appear to have been like this for 4 
months

As luck would have it, I have them on tape, but here is the problem:

1) Files are scattered across various folders / subfolders that are in use
2) I cant just restore everythink back to its original location, because there 
are files that have been recently used and amended

3) I have a file output that has identified 40,000 files that are zero bytes!
4) Cant do a restore to different location ... do not have enough disk space. 
Its over 400GB in size. Otherwise I would have done this.

Without painfully going through each of the various folders / subfolders, does 
anyone have any ideas or is there a way I could feed in my output file to NBU 
to restore from a tape of last years backup?

Started yesterday, and only done a few hundred !!!
Any ideas or suggestions, would be apprecaited.

Regards

Si
