restore dump - help

sankera · #1 (**permalink**) 07-09-2003

I have a file with .dmp.gz. I am trying to uncompress this file in a new directory. was able to use gzip to take off the gz extension. How do I get the .dmp extension off? Will ufsrestore work on SUN system?

HELP!

Just out of curiosity, what's the name of the dmp file? These files can be created for different reasons (such as a sytem crash).

The .dmp extension isn't like the .gz extension, so there's not gonna be a utility like gzip to remove the .dmp extension. What you do with the file now that you've unzipped though, I'm not sure. Where'd the file come from?

Yes.

Do you need it in this situation? Maybe.

You don't get rid of the dmp extension. It may not be a ufsdump file. Try the file command to find out what type of file it is.

$ file ./myfile.dmp

It should give you a headstart in figuring out what you need to 'restore' it.
