- The rreessttoorree command is used to restore a file or set of
- files from a dump archive. The dump archive is created by
- the dduummpp command. If a specified path is a single file,
- then that file is restored. If it is a directory, all files
- contained in that directory will be recursively restored.
- If the path is a shell syntax regular expression, then all
- files in the dump archive matching the expression will be
- restored.
-
- All the specified paths should be absolute, hard paths.
- I.e., they should start with the root directory, and should
- not contain any symbolic links. Be especially careful when
- restoring something to your home directory because most home
- directories on Sprite are symbolic links from the /users
- directory.
