Problem Description
|
|
I would like to restore a BackupEDGE archive to another server, but I don't want the symbolic links to point to their original location.
|
|
Cause
|
|
When restoring a BackupEDGE backup, symbolic links will point back to where the actual data resides. If doing a full restore relative to a directory other than root, these symlinks will still point to the original location.
|
|
Solution
|
|
BackupEDGE has a command line option to allow symbolic links to point to an alternative location during the restore so as to not corrupt the OS.
This script can be modified to perform that function for you:
RESOURCE="url0"
TARGETDIR="/u/oldserver"
edge -xvf ${RESOURCE} -zSYMLINK_ADJ=${TARGETDIR} -zWHERE=${TARGETDIR}
|
|
Notes
|
|
This command should work on versions of BackupEDGE 03.00.01 and later.
