I saw an interesting link which talks about dump/restore command options. I could not try the options here as I don't have a tape available right now. http://www.nethamilton.net/docs/dump.html#s1-7-1 In this link there is a section called Interactive Restores which talks about the options of restore command.

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 -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew.Bridgeman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2008 2:55 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx 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.
