I strongly recommend doing some single-file testing before you go for the whole tape. The previous instruction, simply use ";create", is going to restore your files to their original accounts, creating groups accounts and users as necessary. I don't think that's what you wanted; instead I think you want to do something like... as manager.sys, buildacct test newuser mgr.test;pass=five restore *t;@[log in to unmask]@;account=test;owner=mgr;create which will hard-code owner and account but let group come from the tape. now before you trust either of us, TEST! > -----Original Message----- > From: Ron Horner [mailto:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Tuesday, September 28, 2004 10:21 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: Restore to dup account.. > > > I would use the create option like this ";CREATE".
