The rreessttoorree command is used to restore a file or set of
files from a dump archive. The dump archive is created by
the dduummpp command. If a specified path is a single file,
then that file is restored. If it is a directory, all files
contained in that directory will be recursively restored.
If the path is a shell syntax regular expression, then all
files in the dump archive matching the expression will be
restored.
All the specified paths should be absolute, hard paths.
I.e., they should start with the root directory, and should
not contain any symbolic links. Be especially careful when
restoring something to your home directory because most home
directories on Sprite are symbolic links from the /users
directory.
