Restoring the File System of an Archive

Restoring an archive restores the file system of the specified archive to the state of the datastore.

Prerequisites

  • The bwagent must be running.
Note: Wildcards can be used to restore archives if archive name(s) are not known.

Procedure

  1. To restore the file system for an archive, open a terminal and navigate to BW_HOME\bin.
  2. Enter the restore command, with the -domain, -appspace, and appnode options. Provide the archive argument specifying the name of the archive to restore or wildcards to restore all archives uploaded to domains in this agent. 
    BW_HOME\bin>bwadmin restore -d Machine1Domain -a AS1 -n AN1 archive *.*
  3. To verify the restore, check the file system. Open the BW_HOME\domains folder. Browse the folder and look for the archive in the BW_HOME\domains\domain_name\archives folder.
