Jeff,

I have a small readme file I keep to remind myself how to restore files.
Here it is:

zimtok5.scott> more readme
To extract a file from an image:

(for example)

root> cd /backups/x22c/images
root> flexbackup -c ../flexbackups.conf -list home.2.2021126.afio-gz | 
/backups/restore/list-dir.pl valery > fred
root> vi fred
        (edit list of files, leaving only the desired file names.)
root> flexbackup -c ../flexbackup.conf -extract home.2.20021126.afio-gz -flist fred
root> rm fred *.log

Note that if your flexbackup.conf is not the default one in /etc then you need
to specify it on the command line.  The restored files will appear in the
directory that you ran the flexbackup -extract command in.

The 'list-dir.pl' I use is just a simple perl script which filters the output
of the flexbackup -list command and prints the lines containing a given argument,
where that argument appears in a file path.  Here it is:

zimtok5.scott> more listdir.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

# extract list of files in a given subdirectory in the 'flexbackup -list'
# stream on sdtin.
#
# flexbackup -list afio-archive-name | listdir.pl user > files
#

use strict;

my $dir;

$dir = shift @ARGV;

while (<>) {
    chomp;
    if (/.*[\s]($dir\/.*)/) {
        print "$1\n";
    }
}

Hope this helps,

Scott
