Recreating Stub Files for Your Migrated Files

If you back up and migrate files to the same server, and backup versions of your files exist, use the backup-archive client to restore your stub files.

If you back up and migrate files to a different server and your stub files are erased or corrupted, use the dsmmigundelete command to recreate them.

Note:
When you use the dsmmigundelete command to recreate stub files for migrated files, stub files are recreated for all eligible migrated files in the file system that you specify. You cannot use this command to recreate stub files for individual files or specific groups of files.

The dsmmigundelete command creates stub files for any premigrated files for which an original file does not exist on your local file system.

When you enter the dsmmigundelete command:

Attention: The dsmmigundelete command does not support hardlinked files. If you attempt to recreate a stub file for a hardlinked file, a stub file is not recreated unless all of the files that are hardlinked together are deleted from your local file system. When one file in a set of hardlinked files is migrated, all of the hardlinked files in the set become stub files. When the dsmmigundelete command recreates a stub file for a hardlinked file, the stub file has the same name as the file that was originally migrated. Stub files are not recreated for any other files that were previously in the hardlinked set of files.

For more information about using the dsmmigundelete command, see dsmmigundelete.
