Re: problem trying to RST to different location.

Further to Rob's suggestion, examination of the CRTPRNDIR parameter on the
RST command might be in order.

Default is *NO but when restoring to another directory *YES is often the
required behaviour.

I think the question was more on the restore.
The message is truncated and no longer includes the original post but
let's say you saved
'/mydir/mysubdir/yetonemoredir/myfile.txt'
and you try to restore it as myfile2.txt. Well you either have to specify
a full directory structure like
'/home/DALE/myfile2.txt'
or '/mydir/mysubdir/yetonemoredir' has to exist on the new machine.

Jim,

It's likely the parent directories were not included in the save,

therefore

they cannot be restored due to missing objects.

I thought the SAV command parameter :

OBJ(('/*' *INCLUDE)*INCLUDE)

means start at the root and save everything. (except for the 4 folders I
omitted)

should I change it to:OBJ(('/*.*' *include)*include) ?






Paul,

in "/var", most of the directories are symbolic links to /QpenSys/...
So I would investigate 2 possible causes
1. /QopenQys is case sensitive ..
2. The content of Symbolic links is not included in SAV (only the
"concept of" link is)

First question, how to tell if it's a symbolic link from ops nav?

Second, this is mailbox file from communigate email server, I am fairly
certain this is not a symnbolic link.

If I look under QopenSys/var, there is no communigate folder, which leads
me to believe /var/communigate.... is a valid path, not symbolic link.
