AIX

We used sysback to backup some older servers and now need to restore some of the directories within a file system. I've tried to use smitty sysback to list the content of the file system but there are over 3000 entries. I'm looking for a command that would allow me to list out the directories to a file so I can send it to the group that wants the restore and they can specify which directories need to be restored.

Backup, List, Verify and Restore Command Output Screen
The output screen for the backup, list, verify, and restore options is different from
that of other SMIT-executed commands. This screen provides the following
advantages:

You should be able write the output output to a log file after the command has completed.
You can also try this by redirecting output to a specified file:

Code:

smit sb_list >list.txt 2>&1

I do not know sysback well enough to be sure what simple command would work. However, you could try using the command 'restore'

To see what commands smit is using (writing them to smit.script use the -x option.

$ smitty -x
