No. The "-f <file>" allows you to specify a file that contains a list
of files to restore.

Isnt -f restore to an alternative location. Something I cannot do as I
do not have the space.
And I cant just overwrite everything, as alot of the files within the
folders and subfolders have been used and accessed.
Perhaps I am missing something then?

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

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
