Filesonly

The filesonly option restricts backup, restore, retrieve, or query processing to files only.

You cannot restore or retrieve directories from the IBM Spectrum 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 Spectrum Protect API does not support this option.
