rdup-cp(1) - Linux man page

Name

rdup-cp - copy files from rdup

Synopsis

rdup-cp DEST [ OPTION ]

Description

rdup-cp copies the files it gets from standard input to the directory DEST. This script can be used to restore files from a backup, especially when the -a option of rdup is used.

The command line would look something like this:

rdup /dev/null FROM | rdup-cp DEST

Or when you need rdup to fill in the extended attributes:

rdup -a /dev/null FROM | rdup-cp DEST

DEST can only be a local directory.

Options

-a
Write the uid and gid information to the file's extended user attributes: 'r_uid' and 'r_gid'. This option only works if attr is available on the system. This currently works for Linux and Solaris 10.
-p NUM
Strip NUM slashes of the path names, thereby stripping a common prefix of all names.
-c
Used in conjunction with rdup's -c. Process the files' contents also.
-v
Echo the files processed to standard error.
-h
Short help message.
-V
Show the version.
