Lesson 2 Storing and Restoring Files from Tape
Q 4-5 To store all the files in your account to tape you
would enter:
STORE @.@;*T
Q 4-6 To store all files on a tape to be restored to an
MPE V system, you would enter:
STORE M@.@;*T;TRANSPORT
Q 4-7 RESTORE *T;@.PROJECT.ACCTx
Exercise 4-4: Lesson 2 Review
STORE and RESTORE problems:
1. The tape name needs to be backreferenced in the STORE command:
STORE @.@.ADVUSER;*T
2. Check the tape drive densities and system types. The problem may
result from different tape densities or different systems or both.
If either of these conditions exist, you need to go through the
Store procedure again, adding the DEN= and/or TRANSPORT parameters
as necessary.
3. To store the files:
FILE T;DEV=TAPE;DEN=1600
STORE @.PUB.ADVUSER;*T;TRANSPORT
To restore the files:
FILE T;DEV=TAPE
RESTORE *T;@.PUB.ADVUSER
4. This is one of the potential problems resulting from using the
PURGE parameter. Use it cautiously. In the event of tape
problems, check with system management for help with the tape.
Also, check with them for the availability of system backup tapes
made recently in order to recover copies of the files.
