THE VIRTUAL SERVER HANDBOOK

Backups

Each night the Virtual Server is copied to /backup/home/login id. Prior to

the copy the contents of /backup/home/login id are compressed into a tar

file which also gets archived on tape. Restoring files from the different

locations would be difficult without a utility called getback. To restore a

file using getback, Telnet to the server and change to the directory where

the file is located and then type 

getback 

filename

 or 

getback

directory name

.  It will list the times and dates available from

/backup/home, /usrbackup, and tape. There is a charge for recovering some

of the older files, getback will say "fee" on the line if it is a charge.
