So You Need To Restore A File
Restoring a file consists of several steps. The only requirement is that the account directory already be created (this limitation will be removed in a later release).
It is strongly recommended that if you are restoring a limited number of files that you use the /R (allRequired) mode.
Files are normally restored to a new folder called Restored Files (which will be created if it doesn't exist) in each directory. If you wish, you can specify the /o (originalLocation) option to put the files back into their original locations in the account directories.
You have several options depending upon how much you know about the file you are looking for.
What you know
If you know the account directory and the folder the file was in, and who the file was from:
Command you can use
archiver /r /R /a acct_0.act /f folder.dir /F name@addr.com archive.zip
What it does
/r Specify restore mode.
/R Specify the allRequired mode.
/a Specify account directory being restored.
/f Specify the folder directory being restored.
/F Specify the e-mail address in the messages being restored.
What you know
If you know the account directory and folder directory:
Command you can use
archiver /r /R /a acct_0.act /f folder.dir /Q archive.zip
What it does
/r Specify restore mode.
/R Specify the allRequired mode.
/a Specify account directory being restored.
/f Specify the folder directory being restored.
/Q Specify query mode. This will ask you before restoring each file.
