STORE and TurboSTORE/iX Manual

Referencing Files in a RESTORE Command 

You can name a single file to RESTORE, several individual files, or all
the files from one or more STORE tapes.  The group of files you want to
RESTORE is called a file set.  In addition to naming many kinds of file
sets, you can name file subsets to exclude from the RESTORE process.

As a system supervisor (with OP capability) or a system manager (with SM
capability), you can RESTORE any file in the system.  To RESTORE a file
that is not in your logon group and account, you must specify the
complete name of the file in the form filename.group.account.  If you do
not name an account for the file, RESTORE assumes your logon account.

If you do not name a group, RESTORE assumes your current group.  Thus, if
you want to restore a file from your logon group and account, you need
only specify its filename.  RESTORE does not RESTORE a file if its group
and account do not exist on your system, unless you instruct RESTORE to
create accounts and groups (using the CREATE parameter).  Refer to
"Creating Accounts, Groups, and Creators", later in this chapter. 

RESTORE uses the same guidelines and syntax to describe files to be
restored as STORE. See the "Referencing Files in a STORE Command," in
Chapter 5, "Storing Files."

You do not need to specify a file set for the RESTORE command.  If you
omit a list of files in the RESTORE command, the default is to restore a
file set based on your capabilities, as follows:

   *   @.group.account for users

   *   @.@.account for the account manager (AM)

   *   @.@.@ for the system manager (SM) and system supervisor (OP)
