Syntax and Usage for Restore and Backup Script

Syntax and Usage for Restore and Backup Script

---

You can use the restorebackup.pl script to restore the LMS data you have
backed up.

You must stop all services and processes before running restorebackup.pl.

---

Note Cross platform restore is not supported. That is, you cannot restore data from a Solaris installation of LMS to a Windows installation and vice-versa.

---

The syntax for restorebackup.pl is as follows:

Solaris

NMSROOT/bin/perl NMSROOT/bin/restorebackup.pl -d BKP -gen generationNumber -t temporary_directory -h

Windows

NMSROOT\bin\perl NMSROOT\bin\restorebackup.pl -d BKP -gen generationNumber -t temporary_directory -h

where:

•NMSROOT—Environment variable containing full pathname of Common Services installation directory (by default, /opt/CSCOpx in Solaris, and C:\Program Files\CSCOpx in Windows where C: is the System Drive).

•-t temporary_directory—(Optional) This is the directory or folder used by the restore program to store its temporary files. By default this directory is NMSROOT/tempBackupData. You can customize this by specifying your own temporary directory to avoid overloading NMSROOT.

•-gen generationNumber—(Optional) By default, this is the latest generation. If generations 1 through 5 exist, then 5 is the latest.

•-d BKP—(Required) The backup directory to use.

•-h—(Optional) Provides help. When used with -d BackupDirectory, shows correct syntax along with available suites and generations.
