Hi,

I have a an xfs test machine, so the data is not critical, but I want to 
understand better how restore works.

I have been making xfsdump backups on a daily basis. 

Levels (Sun - Sat.):  0, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4

Today, I came across the "zero filled files" error, so I want to restore the 
most current backup of that file (ie /config/myscript).

How do I do that?

I can see that I can manually search backward by level, but that involves 
possibly reading 4 backups.

I'm hoping that the xvsdump inventory has the name of the files backed up in 
there, so I can simply ask "which backup session has the latest copy of 
/config/myscript?".

Then restore the file from that one backup.
