Syntax and Usage for Restore Script

Syntax and Usage for Restore Script

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

For a successful restoration of backed up data, ensure that all services and processes are up and running. Stop the daemons and then run restorebackup.pl.

Note Cross platform restore is supported only from Solaris/Window to Soft Appliance.

The syntax for restorebackup.pl is as follows:

•Solaris and Soft Appliance

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

•Windows

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

The following table lists the explanation for the syntax:
Syntax

Explanation
NMSROOT—(Required)
LMS installation directory (by default, /opt/CSCOpx in 
Solaris and Soft Appliance, 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)
This is the generation number. -gen now is the latest 
generation. If generations 1 through 5 exist, then 5 is the 
latest. 
-d BKP—(Required)
This is the absolute directory or folder used by the restore 
program to store the backup.
-h—(Optional) 
Displays help. When used with -d BackupDirectory, show s 
correct syntax along with available suites and generations
