Restoring Different Format Tapes
RESTORE can restore files from any tape created by STORE. This includes
tapes that were made using TurboSTORE only options, such as compression
(COMPRESS), online (ONLINE), interleave (INTER), and parallel store sets
(STORESET=). Even if you have not purchased a version of TurboSTORE,
basic RESTORE can still copy the files off of the tape.
For a tape that was created by an online STORE, the original state of the
file is constructed based on the written file data, plus any online log
information that follows the file. The file will be restored to the
state it was at the time of the attach.
You can also RESTORE files from a tape that was created with parallel
store sets, even if you have only one tape device, or have fewer tape
devices than were used to create the tape. Mount the media from the
first store set initially. When RESTORE has finished reading files from
that set, it will prompt you to mount media from the next set. It will
continue to request media until all files have been restored.
RESTORE can restore files from a tape which is in MPE/VE STORE format.
MPE/VE STORE format tapes are made when the TRANSPORT option is specified
on an MPE/iX STORE command. When restoring from an MPE/VE STORE format
tape, the STORE or TSTORE program will sense that the tape is in MPE/VE
STORE format and invoke CMSTORE to RESTORE the files. However, the
following options are not available in CMSTORE:
* DIRECTORY
* LISTDIR
* FCRANGE
* VOLSET
* VOL
* VOLCLASS
* COPYACD
* NOACD
* RESTORESET
* TREE
* NOTREE
* MOSET
* NAME
* USENAME
