Now, restore your original root file system from your full backups. At this stage, you will only need to restore the files on the root file system, not any other file systems (e.g./usr ), as they will be restored at a later stage. First, restore your /etc/passwd and /etc/group files from your special backup, and then proceed with the restore of the other files from your backup. For example, if you use fbackup to back your system up, the recovery command could look like:

    # frecover -xovf /dev/rmt/0m -i /etc/passwd -i /etc/group
    # frecover -xovf /dev/rmt/0m -i / -e /usr -e /mnt -e /users

Note that you should specify OVERWRITE, as you need all the files on the backup to REPLACE the files on disk.
