[backups+]lmb: nsu
[backups]root: cd
[backups]root: . /etc/tibs.conf

[backups]root:tibsrest -n crumpler.inf.ed.ac.uk -p /Users/duncandavidson/Documents/InformaticsVentures -r nessie -a /disk/rmirror20/duncan_restore

Creating Mount Point

Once restored the afs data has to be mounted where user can access it.

[swanston]lmb/admin:vos exam user.s0785695.restore
[swanston]lmb/admin:cd ~s0785695
[swanston]lmb/admin:fs mkmount restored user.s0785695.restore

Remember to tidy up

After an agreed amount of time the volume should be unmounted and deleted.

[swanston]lmb/admin:cd ~s0785695
[swanston]lmb/admin:fs rmmount restored

Find out where the volume is.
