SAVE is used with the VOLUTIL RECOVER command for recovering disk files if there is a system failure, a directory corruption, or a disk becomes inaccessible to the operating system. The SAVE function retrieves the files from disk and copies them to magnetic tape for later recovery (via the VOLUTIL RECOVER command).

For more information on VOLUTIL, refer to chapter 4, "Troubleshooting".

Task

Retrieves files from disk and copies them to tape.

Capability

No special capability required.

Syntax

   SAVE

Example

This example shows how to save disk files to tape.

  1. Enter the SAVE command at the discutil> prompt.

       discutil> SAVE 
    
    
    
       WARNING BLOCK
    
    
    
       ENTER FILE SET TO BE SAVED: MYFILE.JOHN.SMITH 
    
    
    
       TRAVERSE DIRECTORIES UNDER FILESET (Y/N)?
    
    
    
       ENTER THE LDEV: 17 
    
    
    
       ENTER THE MODIFICATION DATE (MM/DD/YYYY): 07/01/1986 
    
    
    
       ENTER THE TAPE LDEV:
    
    
    
       MYFILE.JOHN.SMITH - LDEV 17 - ADDR $0002CA0 - FOUND
    
       MYFILE.JOHN.SMITH - LDEV 17 - ADDR $0002CA0 - SAVED
    
    
    
       WARNING BLOCK
    
    
    
       ENTER FILE SET TO BE SAVED: 
    

    The SAVE command prompts you for a file set, LDEV, and modification date.

       ENTER FILE SET TO BE SAVED: MYFILE.JOHN.SMITH
    

    Use the filename.groupname.acctname syntax where:

    filename

    is the file designator

    The file(s) must reside on a disk available when DISCUTIL was started or one that was made available with the DISCUTIL CONFIGURE command.

    groupname

    is an optional group designator.

    acctname

    is an optional account designator.

    If you press Return without entering a file set, DISCUTIL ends the SAVE command.

    The parameters filename, groupname, and acctname may be replaced by @ to signify "all members of the set" (for example, @.@.@).

    The prompt is repeated after the file set is saved. To terminate SAVE, press Return.

  2. Enter RETURN at the following prompt:

       TRAVERSE DIRECTORIES UNDER FILESET (Y/N)?
    
  3. The SAVE command prompts you for an LDEV.

       ENTER THE LDEV: 17 
    

    To save files from a particular logical device (disk), enter the LDEV now. SAVE searches only the specified disk for the file(s) you want to save. You may also press Return at this prompt to indicate you want SAVE to search each LDEV for file(s). The LDEV entered must be one that is known to DISCUTIL. Use the PDEV command to determine if an LDEV is valid. For more information on DISCUTIL, refer to chapter 4 of this manual, and to the System Utilities Manual (32650-90081).

  4. The SAVE command prompts you for a volume set name if you did not specify an LDEV number.

       ENTER VOLUME SET NAME: PROD_SET
    

    Enter a volume set name if you want SAVE to search for file(s) on a particular volume set. Use the PDEV command to determine valid volume set names. Press Return to indicate you want SAVE to search all disks for the file(s).

  5. The SAVE command prompts you for a modification date.

       ENTER THE MODIFICATION DATE (MM/DD/YYYY):07/01/1986
    

    Only files modified since this date are saved to tape. DD is a two-digit number for the day of the month, MM is a two-digit number for the month, and YYYY is a four-digit number for the year. Omit the date specification and press Return at the prompt to save all files requested.

  6. Enter the tape LDEV.
