Restore a file or directory through a UNIX command line

You can restore a file or directory from a snapshot through a UNIX command line.

Procedure

Open a connection to the cluster through a UNIX command line.
Optional: To view the contents of the snapshot you want to restore a file or directory from, run the ls command for a directory contained in the snapshots root directory.
For example, the following command displays the contents of the /archive directory contained in Snapshot2014Jun04:
```
ls /ifs/.snapshot/Snapshot2014Jun04/archive
```
Copy the file or directory by using the cp command.
For example, the following command creates a copy of the file1 file:
```
cp -a /ifs/.snapshot/Snapshot2014Jun04/archive/file1 \
 /ifs/archive/file1_copy
```
