To restore files
Files on cassette tape might be needed back on the system. The RESTORE
command is used to transfer them back to disk. If you are executing this
command from a terminal other than the system console, a message appears
on the console screen, requesting that the system administrator load a
cassette tape onto the tape drive. For directions on handling tapes and
loading the tape drive, refer to "Setting Up and Maintaining Your
System."
To restore all of the files from a cassette tape
When the appropriate tape is loaded on the tape drive and you have logged
on to the console, use the RESTORE command to transfer the files from
tape to disk.
To restore all of the files on the tape, use RESTORE and the wildcard @,
for the file, group, and account names.
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE Return
:RESTORE *T;@.@.@ Return
To restore selected files from a cassette tape
When the appropriate tape is loaded on the tape drive and you have logged
on to the console, use the RESTORE command to transfer the files from
tape to disk.
To restore selected files from a tape, identify the files by entering the
file names and separating them by commas:
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE Return
:RESTORE *T;filename,filename,filename Return
In this example, the command can be simplified further by using a
wildcard to specify a common part of the file names, if appropriate:
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE Return
:RESTORE *T;filename@ Return
To restore files and the account structure from a cassette tape
When the appropriate tape is loaded on the tape drive and you have logged
onto the console, use the RESTORE command to transfer the files from tape
to disk.
To restore all files and the account structure on the tape, use the
RESTORE command and the wildcard @, for the file, group, and account
names along with the DIRECTORY parameter. The user of this parameter
must have special capabilities, either OP or SM, assigned to them.
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE Return
:RESTORE *T;@.@.@;DIRECTORY Return
To restore files whose groups or accounts do not exist on the system
When files are saved on the cassette tape, the system notes where the
file's creator, group, and account are. At the time that the files are
restored to the system, the creator, group, or account may no longer
exist on the system. The CREATE option of the RESTORE command helps
recreate those items as the files are restored to the disk.
In the following example, all files are restored recreating the file's
original group, account, and creator:
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE Return
:RESTORE *T;@.@.@;CREATE=GROUP,ACCOUNT,CREATOR Return
When users, groups, and accounts are recreated by the RESTORE command,
default capabilities are assigned.
To restore files from another account or group to your logon group and
account
When there is no need to recreate the original group or account
structure, you can indicate this to the system with the LOCAL option:
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE Return
:RESTORE *T;@.@.@;LOCAL Return
In this case, the files are stored under your logon group and account.
