restoring file to its default location...
Hello everyone,
I am new to unix shell.
I have a file called Path.txt....and i have data in that as
1 abhi
2 avi
3 ash so on.....
1 ,2 ,3 is the index.....
my concern is user will give me input as
restore 1
then i have to restore abhi file to its default location..
if restore 2
then again same thing....
user can give restore 1 2 3
in this case all three files are suppose to get restored to the
default location.
what i am doing is
using for loop
fname=`grep -w "^$index" $HOME/UnixCw/backup/Path.txt`
echo "FILE: $fname"
in FILE if user said restore 11 then FILE will contain
11 filename
now i want to restore the filename
i think i have to take this file name in some variable.
and by using mv i can restore..but i am not sure about how i
can do this...please help me out

vgcfgrestore
VGCFGRESTORE(8) System Manager's Manual VGCFGRESTORE(8)
NAME
vgcfgrestore - restore volume group descriptor area
SYNOPSIS
vgcfgrestore [-d|--debug] [-f|--file filename] [-l[l]|--list] [-h|--help] [-M|--Metadatatype1|2] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] VolumeGroupName
DESCRIPTION
vgcfgrestore allows you to restore the metadata of VolumeGroupName from a text backup file produced by vgcfgbackup. You can specify a
backup file with --file. If no backup file is specified, the most recent one is used. Use --list for a list of the available backup and
archive files of VolumeGroupName.
OPTIONS
-l | --list -- List files pertaining to VolumeGroupName
List metadata backup and archive files pertaining to VolumeGroupName. May be used with the -f option. Does not restore Vol-
umeGroupName.
-f | --file filename -- Name of LVM metadata backup file
Specifies a metadata backup or archive file to be used for restoring VolumeGroupName. Often this file has been created with vgcfg-
backup.
See lvm for common options.
REPLACING PHYSICAL VOLUMES
vgdisplay --partial --verbose will show you the UUIDs and sizes of any PVs that are no longer present. If a PV in the VG is lost and you
wish to substitute another of the same size, use pvcreate --restorefile filename --uuid uuid (plus additional arguments as appropriate) to
initialise it with the same UUID as the missing PV. Repeat for all other missing PVs in the VG. Then use vgcfgrestore --file filename to
restore the volume group's metadata.
