ufsrestore?
I'm trying to restore a server from a backup tape. I've partitioned my drive, and I've run into a problem; After extracting everything from the tape, It seems as if only the directory structure is intact. Here are my steps:
1. booted from cdrom to single user mode boot cdrom -s
2. used 'format' to create my partitions
3. created my directories
4. mounted all of my partitions
5. cd to desired directory
6. ufsrestore -ivh /dev/rmt/0n
7. follow prompts
8. boot -ar
Seemed to work fine with my first server. 2nd one, not so much.
Did I miss something? TIA
