Hello.

I have to recover the data of an afs server for which I have a recovered
/vicepa folder

I have read this thread: "Recovering filenames from namei fileserver's
/vicepa tree"
https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2005-June/018313.html

If I understood correctly, the easiest way to restore the files is to setup
another afs server and "just" overwrite the /vicepa folder with the one I
have. Is this correct?

I don't understand the part about the salvager deleting the data. I have
the recovered /vicepa folder on a ntfs partition. I'm trying to recover
again the folder but to an ext4 partition trying to preserve ownership and
modes ...

Apart from the option described in that thread: is there any alternative to
reconstruct the file names without setting up another afs server?.  If I
understood correctly, the files on /vicepa corresponds to the "real" files
but with an transformed name.

Thank you.

Ragards,
