frec(1M)                                                 frec(1M)



NAME
     frec - recovers files from a backup tape

SYNOPSIS
     frec [-freqfile inumber:name...] [-ppath] device-file

ARGUMENTS
     device-file
          Specifies the device file containing the files to be
          recovered.

     [-freqfile inumber:name...]
          Specifies a file containing recovery requests. The
          format is

             inumber:name

          with one request per line.

     -ppath
          Specifies a path for names not beginning with / or ./.
          The default pathname is your current working directory.

DESCRIPTION
     frec recovers the files identified by inumber from the
     specified device-file.  This is a backup tape written by
     volcopy(1M) or finc(1M).  The data for each recovery request
     is written into the name file.

     If any directories are missing in the paths of recovery
     names they will be created.

EXAMPLE
     The command:

        frec /dev/rmt/tc1 1216:junk

     recovers a file, with inumber 1216, into the file junk in
     your current working directory.  The command:

        frec -p /u/work /dev/rmt/tc1 14156:a 1232:b 3141:/u/joe/a.c

     recovers files with inumbers 14156, 1232, and 3141 into
     files:

        /u/work/a
        /u/work/b
        /u/joe/a.c

LIMITATIONS
     While creating the intermediate directories contained in a
     pathname, frec can only recover inode fields for those
     directories contained on the tape and requested for
     recovery.
