problem was zcat needed to cat home.dmp* | zcat | (cd ....; restore -if -) NIGHTMARE |
Description of problem: when I restore a directory containing real dirs and symbolic links to the dir, the sym links are not restored; also all files in sub-directories chosen are not there, just the directory chosen and it's sub-directories are restored; NO FILES Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dump-0.4-0.36.b46.fc28.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. cd /opt; mkdir something; ln -s something anything 2. dump the file system ( using zip and file splitting) cd someplace_to_dump_to (dump -u0 -f - -A home.toc -L home -z2 /home | split -b 2GB -d - home.dmp) 3. restore (interactively or full fails too) cd dump_dir_above zcat home* | (cd /someplace_to_restore; restore -if -) Actual results: the link anything fails I also had tons of files under Pictures and did a full restore as well as an interactive restore. the files show as list in the "restore>" prompt but adding Pictures (interactively) only gets directories in a full restore (someplace else), I am also missing all the pictures. some files work fine, but for sub-directoris, they are all empty e.g. the top level "Pictures" was chosen in interactive mode all sub-directories are there, but NO files Expected results: dump/restore used to work correctly Additional info: This make ALL of my backups irrelevant and useless. It also makes it very hard to do a clean install and upate to a new release.
