If you restore the same information regularly, you might keep
RESTORE parameters and options that you use in a text file,
and then refer to that file when you issue the command.
This way, you can quickly perform the same restore procedure
on a regular basis, without needing to remember all of the specific
information the RESTORE command requires.
To use an indirect file:
Using a text editor, create a file that specifies the file set and
parameters you want to execute with the RESTORE command.
Save the file with a meaningful name so that you can easily remember it.
Reference the indirect file in the RESTORE command line.
For example, the following RESTORE command references an indirect
file named BACKUP:
For more information on indirect files see "Using Indirect Files" in chapter 6, "Copying Files to Tape."
