- Restore Utility (Support Section), RESTORE.TTP
- ==============================================
-
- RESTORE.TTP allows individual or multiple partitions to be dumped, i.e.
- image restore, from tape. This form of restore is a lot faster than a selective
- file restore provided by my own port of GNU tar v1.10, which incidentally
- supports SCSI tape drives using the TapeBIOS function calls.
-
- RESTORE.TTP takes arguments. These arguments are as follows:-
-
- e.g. restore.ttp [drivelist] [dumpname_a] [dumpname_b] [etc...]
-
- RESTORE.TTP is capable of restoring data to different drives than what
- the data was backed up too. Under these circumstances if a drive is selected
- which is larger than the amount of data to restore, then the drive will be
- reduced and all data will be restored. But, if a drive is selected which is
- smaller than the amount of data to restore, then all data will not be restored
- and could smash data on other partitions. USE THIS OPTION WITH CAUTION.
-
- e.g. restore.ttp de Boot Apps
-
- Will restore the Boot dumpname to partition D: and the Apps dumpname
- to partition E: regardless of the original source drive.
