Filesonly
The filesonly option restricts backup, restore, retrieve, or query processing to files only.
You cannot restore or retrieve directories from the IBM® Storage Protect server when using the filesonly option with the restore or retrieve commands. However, directories with default attributes are created, if required, as placeholders for files that you restore or retrieve.
You can also use the filesonly option with the following commands:
- archive
- incremental
- query archive
- query backup
- restore
- restore backupset
- restore group
- retrieve
- selective
Supported Clients
This option is valid for all clients. The IBM Storage Protect API does not support this option.
