Restoring Files from Partial Backup Tapes
Use the RESTORE command to copy system files, user files, and the file
system directory from your STORE backups to disk.
To restore system and user files from your most recent backups, perform
the following steps:
1. First gather all the units of backup media from your most recent
backup.
2. Mount the backup(s) on the backup drive(s) and bring the drive(s)
online.
3. After a system failure, only LDEV 1 is available as the system
volume set. You must use the VOLUTIL program in order to
initialize your other volume sets, if you have not done so
already. This can be done with the following set of commands:
:VOLUTIL
volutil: NEWVOL volumesetname:membername LDEV=nn
The volumesetname for the system volume set is
MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET. Issue the NEWVOL command for each member
of the volume set. For more detailed instructions, see the Volume
Management Reference Manual (32650-90045).
4. Issue the following FILE and RESTORE commands to copy the files
from the backup media.
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE
:RESTORE *T;@.@.@;KEEP;OLDDATE;DIRECTORY
5. Monitor the console for tape requests.
6. Mount additional backup media when necessary until you have copied
all files from all backups.
