tob not restoring
Hi,
Anyone out there using tob? My backups seem to work fine (very simple
policy: full backup each Monday, differential every other day).
I wanted to test restoring by deleting a file and trying to restore
it. The file was /home/liam/addr1.txt and below are the commands I
use plus the results.
In summary, I can find the file in the backup list and tob seems
happy enough about restoring but the file never gets written to the
disk.
Any hints appreciated.
Liam
===========================================================
ns1:~> sudo tob -find '.*addr1.txt'
No tape position known in advance. Position to what entry?
0
Ok, got resource /etc/tob/tob.rc.
This is the tob script.
VOLUME: root TYPE: Full DATE: Nov 19 06:57
/home/liam/addr1.txt
VOLUME: root TYPE: differential DATE: Nov 24 04:34
Cleaning up.
Bye.
