Use the Integrated Virtualization Manager to
restore files in your user /home directory and
virtual
media files from tape to your managed system.
You must have a tape device mounted on the managed system
to complete
this task.
To restore user files or virtual media
files from tape, complete
the following steps:
- From the Service
Management menu, click Backup/Restore. The Backup/Restore page is displayed.
- Click the File and Virtual Media Backup/Restore tab.
- Click List Tape Contents to
view a list
of all files on the specified tape device. When the
process
finishes reading the tape, you can view the list of files in the Tape
Device File table.
- In the Tape
Device File table, select the
files that you want to restore to the managed system from tape.
- Click Generate Command. Integrated Virtualization Manager updates
the page by replacing
the Tape Device File table with an informational
message
that contains the command that you need to run to restore the selected
files.
- Copy the command that the Integrated Virtualization Manager generated
and open a terminal session window.
- Paste the
command into the terminal window and run it to restore
the selected files to the managed system. The command only
restores
files to those directories to which your user ID has write-access
authority.
If you have selected to restore a file to a directory to which you
do not
have such authority, the command cannot restore that particular file.
You also can use
Integrated Virtualization Manager to
back up files in your user
/home directory and
virtual
media files on the managed system to tape. For more information see
Backing up virtual media and user files to tape.
