    RESTORE FILES

    This screen allows you to select the backup files to be restored.
    Backups can be restored in full, by filename, or by individually
    selected files. You can also preview a table of contents of a backup to
    help select the files which are to be restored.

    Viewing an Archive

    First, select the archival device's logical name as set up in the
    Configure Archive Devices window (see "Configure Devices" on page
    6-2) by typing the name in (it must precisely match an existing
    name) or by selecting it from the list of available devices.

    Next, if you place a file-matching pattern in the File Wildcards
    text field, this pattern acts as a filter to viewing an archive. For
    example, the pattern *pa* will find any file with the letters pa
    embedded in the name, such as /etc/passwd and partition.save. If you
    leave this field blank, all the files in the archive are listed in
    the results.

    Finally, click on the Table of Contents button. The full archive for
    the backup device is scanned. If Enlighten encounters a multi-volume
    archive generated through the Backup facility, it will prompt you to
    exchange the media. At that time, you may interrupt the archive by
    selecting Cancel. Once the scan is completed, the results are
    displayed in the list box.

    The list box is similar to that of the File Detail window; details
    about the file (its size, owner, etc.) appear at the top of the list
    box when you click on an entry. In this manner, you can preview
    which files to restore should you decide to extract files from the
    archive.

    Note: Large archives, like those often found on a reel tape, may
    take several minutes to scan.

    Restoring an Archive

    First, select the archival device's logical name as set up in the
    Configure Archive Devices window (see "Configure Devices" on page
    6-2) by typing the name in (it must precisely match an existing
    name) or by selecting it from the list of available devices.

    Then, click on the Restore button to extract the contents of an
    archive. The extraction is based on the following conditions, tested
    in the order shown.

    + If any entries are highlighted in the list box, only those files
      are retrieved;

    + Otherwise, if a pattern is entered in the File Wildcards field,
      only those files matching that pattern are retrieved. If this
      pattern matches a directory, then the full directory - with all
      subdirectories - is retrieved;

    + Otherwise, if neither of the above conditions is true, the full
      archive is restored.

    The status of the extract procedure is displayed in a text window.
    You may stop the progress by pressing "Ctrl-C" (or your appropriate
    interrupt key) within the window. If multi-volume archives are
    encountered, Enlighten will prompt you to exchange the media. At
    this point, you may Cancel the process, which will NOT impact those
    files already fully restored during this process.

    Note: Any tar files that were created without absolute pathnames
    will be restored in the directory where Enlighten resides.
