Fromowner

The fromowner option specifies an alternate owner from which to restore backup versions or archived files or images. The owner must give access to another to use the files or images.

For example, to restore files from the /home/devel/proja directory belonging to usermike on system puma, and place the restored files in a directory you own named /home/id/proja, enter the following command:

   dsmc restore -fromowner=usermike -fromnode=puma /home/devel/proja/
   /home/id/proja/

Note: Archiving image restores does not apply to Mac OS X operating systems.

Non-root users can specify fromowner=root to access files owned by the root user if the root user has granted them access.

Note: If you specify the fromowner option without the fromnode option, the active user must be on the same node as the fromowner user.

Use the fromowner option with the following commands:

query archive
query backup
query group
query image
restore
restore image
restore group
retrieve

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all UNIX and Linux clients.
