     NAME
          frec - recover files from a backup tape

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/frec [-p path] [-f reqfile] raw-tape i-number:name ...

          path      A default prefixing pathname different from the
                    current working directory.
          reqfile   The name of a file that contains recovery requests
                    of the format i-number:newname, one per line.
          raw-tape  The pathname of a tape drive on which a backup
                    tape written by volcopy(1M) is mounted.
          i-number  The inode number of the file being recovered.
          name      The pathname of the file to which the data for
                    each recovery request is written.

     DESCRIPTION
          Frec recovers files from a specified backup tape.  If a
          directory is missing in name, it is created.

          Options are:

          -p   Prefix the specified pathname to any names that are not
               fully qualified, i.e., that do not begin with / or ./.

          -f   Read recovery requests from the specified file.

     EXAMPLES
          If a file with i-number 1216 has been backed up, you can
          recover the file into a file named junk in your current
          working directory by typing the following:

          frec /dev/rmt/0m 1216:junk

          To recover files with i-numbers 14156, 1232, and 3141 into
          files /usr/src/cmd/a, /usr/src/cmd/b, and /usr/joe/a.c:

          frec -p /usr/src/cmd /dev/rmt/0m 14156:a 1232:b 3141:/usr/joe/a.c

     SEE ALSO
          cpio(1), volcopy(1M).

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

          Frec expects the volume label to match on all tapes.
