It is less likely that someone inadvertently terminates the
restore
command.
If you enter a
restore
command on the console, it could be terminated by a
Ctrl-C entered on a host connected to the filer using
telnet
.
However, if you enter the
restore
command on the console, you can read and
respond to screen messages displayed by the command. For example, the command
might prompt you for another tape to complete the recovery.

The
restore
command does not restore qtree information. For example, if you
need to restore a volume or a part of a volume that contains qtrees, you must first
create the qtrees into which data is to be restored.

Follow these steps to fully restore a volume containing qtrees:
1. Obtain the record of the qtree information as of the last volume backup.
2. Create all qtrees according to the record.
3. Set the security style of each qtree to the value that is the same as when the vol-
ume was backed up.
4. If you want to recover the entire volume with one
restore
command, go to
Step 5. Using one
restore
command requires less time for recovering the
entire volume than using multiple
restore
commands.
If you want to use multiple
restore
command to recover all qtrees in the vol-
ume, go to Step 6. Using multiple
restore
commands enables you to quickly
recover those qtrees that are needed the most.
