STORE and TurboSTORE/iX Manual

Issuing a RESTORE Command 

To RESTORE the files from the tape to the system disk, you may optionally
first issue a FILE command.  The optional FILE command names the tape
device and describes its type.  If you do not use a FILE command, RESTORE
creates a default file name.  You must issue a RESTORE command
describing:

   *   The files you want to RESTORE

   *   The options you want to use, if any

   *   Back references to the filename of the tape device, unless you use
       the default file name.

For example:

     :FILE T;DEV=TAPE 
     :RESTORE *T;FILE1.OPERATOR.SYS 

or

     :RESTORE ;FILE1.OPERATOR.SYS 


NOTE  If the back reference is omitted, the semicolon (;) serves as a
      placeholder and must be included.


You must use a FILE command if you want the device to be automatically
allocated.

Refer to "Naming the Backup", in Chapter 3, "Preparing Storage Devices,"
for more information on the FILE command.

You can RESTORE files from a single tape device or from multiple tape
devices with TurboSTORE/iX. However, you do not have the use of parallel
devices or parallel device pools, as you do with the STORE command.
RESTORE uses only sequential devices.
