Short: Restore backups made with PC-TOOLS SCSI (PC)
Author: blacky@caiw.nl
Uploader: blacky@caiw.nl
Type: disk/backup
This program can restore backups made with PC-tools on a PC onto a SCSI-tape.
The structure of a PC-tools backup is split into three parts:
1 - a backup-header, which is not used by this program.
2 - the backup-body, the actual backup-data.
3 - the backup-index, an index file which contains information about the files
this program requires these three parts in file-format, you can do this by
using the 'Better Than Nothing' TAPE-handler by Bob Rethemeyer. Read his
instructions how to use the handler.
(disk/backup/BTNtape30.lha)
the usage of the program is as follows:
restore_pctools <INDEX-NAME>,<MAIN-NAME>,<POSNAME>
where:
INDEX-NAME = the name of the backup-index mentioned above.
MAIN-NAME = the name of the backup-body mentioned above.
POSNAME = the name of a file where the last position that was restored
will be kept.
NOTE : the restoration of the backup will be done in the current directory.
example: you've copied the backup-body to dh0:test/backup
you've copied the backup-index to dh0:test/index
you wish to use a pos-file called dh0:test/pos
you wish to restore all to dh0:test
then the commandline would look like this : (cd dh0:test)
restore_pctools index,backup,pos
After this the program will restore the complete backup. After 25 files have
been restored, you will be notified and given the oppertunety to either con-
tinue the restore or quit the restore. if you quit, you can continue later
because the last position is stored in the pos-file.
