NAME¶
tmfs - Time Machine File System
SYNOPSIS¶
tmfs hfs-root-mount time-machine-mount [fuse options...]
DESCRIPTION¶
tmfs creates a read-only virtual filesystem which helps you to read your
Apple Time Machine backup by reconstructing the hard-linked directories from
the HFS+ metadata directory.
You can browse the mounted
time-machine-mount normally and recover data
from any backup point.
tmfs must be run as the root user, but the mounted
time-machine-mount can be accessed by any user, based upon the options
passed to FUSE. See
OPTIONS below.
OPTIONS¶
- hfs-root-mount
- The path to the mount point of your HFS+ Time Machine volume.
You must mount the Time Machine device prior to running tmfs. See the
EXAMPLES section below.
- time-machine-mount
- The path where the Time Machine will be mounted. This should be an empty
directory.
- fuse options
- A comma separated list of options that will be passed to fuse(8).
See fuse(8) for available options. To be able to access the volume
under a normal user account you should set the uid, gid and
allow_other options.
EXAMPLES¶
mkdir /mnt/hfs /mnt/tm
mount /dev/sdXX /mnt/hfs
tmfs /mnt/hfs /mnt/tm -ouid=$(id -u $USER),gid=$(id -g $USER),allow_other
