Use this form if you have accidently rewritten or deleted files from your
account. Files deleted less than 60 days ago should be recoverable; files
overwritten (but not subsequently deleted) less than 30 days ago may also be
recoverable. It may take up to one business day before your restore request can
be honored; please be patient.
Directions for User: Use this form to request recovery of a
file from your Home directory. There is a different form to request a recovery
of a mail file.
Please fill in the first part of this form and give it to a Coordinator at
the Kiewit Output Window. Please use a separate request for each file. You will
be notified by e-mail when the file has been recovered.
Warning: Recovered files will overwrite
any existing file of the same name, so be sure to move any new version of this
file you may have created.

Directions for the Coordinator: Below are the commands you should execute to
recover a file from a User's Home directory. Do not use
these commands to recover a mail file; see the mail file recovery form for
that.
Commands preceded by a # are UNIX Shell commands; those
preceded by a restore> are commands to the restore
program (run by DORESTORE). Information shown below inside {
} refers to similarly labelled blanks above.
# cd {PART}
# DORESTORE {NUM}
?(DORESTORE prints the commands it executes.)
restore> add {USER}/{PATH}
(If restore says the file is not found, you can use the cd
and ls commands of the restore program to try to locate it.
You can also try to contact the user to see if perhaps there is a
misunderstanding about the file name. If you cannot find the file, skip to
quit.)
restore> extract
(This command actually reads the tape and recovers the file. When restore
tells you you have not read any tapes yet and asks you to specify the next
volume #, answer 1. When restore asks whether to "set
owner/mode," answer no.)
restore> quit
#mail {USER}
Your file has been restored (or could not be found or whatever).
. (period ends mail message)
# cd
For example, if the account name is maryk,
the pathname of the file is mydata/file1,
maryk is in partition /people, and
/people is file number 2 on the dump
tape, then you would execute these commands:
cd /people
DORESTORE 2
add maryk/mydata/file1
extract
quit
mail maryk
Mary, your file has been recovered.
.
cd
