Unless you have a product or process that does file level backups (look in the list of file pool administrators for clues) you are going to be in trouble. Physical backups of a running SFS server are generally not of much use.

I've never worked with SFS before. The SFS was designed and put into 24x7 production use circa 1996. There are few trails to follow. Presently there is a daily backup of the system plus weekly DDR's of the volumes. Due to production I cannot shutdown for much more time than the backup takes. I need to restore or somehow obtain a program (deleted by a programmer), and only that file. The manuals I have found are not too clear regarding recovery/restore of SFS. Can one file be easily obtained from a backup? Phil
