Hi,

	Are u using restore command to do extract the backup u created using dump? If its, there are options available for restoring single files and directory trees separately. Please see the manpage of restore  command. that will provide u more information. You can try using tar command also to take backup/restore to tape /disk

Thanks,
Krishnaprasad

Subject: Restoring only changed Files





Hello Everyone,
                                 I currently run the dump command -
/sbin/dump Ouf /software/dump.new / and wanted to know if there is a way of
restoring only the data that has changed from this dump. e.g. Files in /etc
tend to change quite a bit but 95% of the dump does not need to be
restored. This is to reduce the restore time as the dump is currently 15gig
and takes ages to restore. Is there any better way of doing this also? Any
advice on this would be great.

Regards

Andrew Bridgeman
