4.10 Today we had to replace LDEV1 on our HP3000, after which we did an INSTALL. Then we did

RESTORE *T;/;DIRECTORY;SHOW;KEEP;OLDDATE

The MPE filespace was restored normally. But the HFS filespace was not restored. RESTORE told me to use CREATE=PATH which I then did. But what can this mean for my system? The DIRECTORY is on my STORE tape, so what went wrong?

If you are planing an install keep this in mind:

Do not specify the option "DIRECTORY" with a partial (DATE>=) backup. STORE will not put the HFS directory structure on tape.

Do the following instead:

- STORE ;*T;DIRECTORY -> stores all of your MPE/HFS directories on tape

- then do your partial backup without DIRECTORY option

After the install first restore your DIRECTORY with

- RESTORE *T;;DIRECTORY

then restore your partial and your latest full backup respectively.
