Recovering local files/directories from www backup

Recovering local files/directories from www backup

• Log into www.cern.ch with your username and password.
• Go into the directory where the file(s) or the subdirectory you want to restore were located.
• Run the command recover ; a prompt (">") will appear and you'll be inside the program that loads items from the backup system.
• Do ls to check whether the file(s)/subdirectory(ies) you need are there or not. Note that you can can use all the options valid for the UNIX "ls" command .
• If they don't appear in the result of the ls command, write to www.support@cern.ch.
  If they appear in it, create the list of items to restore ("recover list") with the following command:
  add [name ...]
  where "name" is the name of the file/subdirectory to recover.
  Please, note that if a directory is specified, that directory and all of its descendent files are added to the recover list.
• You can check the recover list, typing list .
• If you're satisfied with the list you created, then do recover .
  If you are not, use the command
  delete [name ...]
  to delete items from it. Please, note that if a directory is specified, that directory and all its descendents are deleted from the list.
• The restoring operation may take a while.
  Once it will be finished, the prompt (">") will appear. Then type exit to quit the program.
