Restore Selected Files From Secondary Backup Hard Disk

To restore selected files from a secondary backup hard disk, you will need to connect the hard disk to your computer and mount it.

1. Connect the hard disk to your computer using a suitable interface, such as USB or SATA.

2. Determine the device name of the hard disk by running the lsblk command. This will list all the block devices on your system, including the hard disk.

3. Create a mount point for the hard disk by running the following command:

sudo mkdir /mnt/backup

4. Mount the hard disk by running the following command, replacing /dev/sda1 with the device name of the hard disk:

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/backup

5. Change to the mount point directory:

cd /mnt/backup

6. Use the ls command to list the contents of the hard disk and locate the files you want to restore.

7. Copy the files you want to restore to the desired location on your system using the cp command. For example, to restore a file file1.txt to the current directory, you can use the following command:

cp file1.txt .

8. When you are finished restoring the files, unmount the hard disk by running the following command:

sudo umount /mnt/backup

Keep in mind that you will need to have appropriate permissions to access the files on the hard disk and to copy them to the desired location.
