Mac OSX: How to recover files from Legato backup client

1. Open a terminal window.
2. Type recover then hit return key. Your current working directory will be printed on the line preceded by line prompt recover>
3. Decide which version of the file you want to recover. To do so, type: versions [filename] to show the list of information on all of the versions of file. Here is an example:

   recover> versions/Users/blowens/Using_OS_X/address.jpg
   Versions of `/Users/blowens/Using_OS_X/address.jpg':
     104 -rw-r--r-- blowens staff 54199 May 30 2003 address.jpg
       save time: Sat Aug 7 02:38:26 2004
       location: 000149 at mjollnir
     104 -rw-r--r-- blowens staff 54199 May 30 2003 address.jpg
       save time: Sat Jul 3 06:13:29 2004
       location: 000304 at mjollnir
     104 -rw-r--r-- blowens staff 54199 May 30 2003 address.jpg
       save time:Fri Jun4 21:56:31 2004
       location: 000004 at mjollnir
   

4. Decide what date you want to recover files from. You will need to change the recover to that date.
5. Type changetime [date] then press the return key.
     e.g.,   recover> changetime Sat Aug 7
6. Then, you need to identify the file (or list of files) to be recovered. The entire path needs to be included. Type add [filename].
     e.g.,   recover> add /Users/blowens/Using_OS_X/address.jpg
7. The recover command has to be reentered. Type recover
     e.g.,   recover> recover
   The terminal window will return information about the file, the request for the file and the status as it finds and replaces the file. You will be asked if you want to rename the file. You should say yes. The file will be replaced in the original directory with the filename.R. (e.g., address.jpg.R)

   add [-q] [filename] - add `filename' to list of files to be recovered
