To RESTORE the files from the tape to the system disk, you may
optionally first issue a FILE command. The optional FILE
command names the tape device and describes its type. If you do not use
a FILE command, RESTORE creates a default filename. You must
issue a RESTORE command describing:
The files you want to RESTORE
The options you want to use, if any
Back references to the filename of the tape device, unless you use the
default filename.
For example:
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE
:RESTORE *T;FILE1.OPERATOR.SYS
|
or
:RESTORE ;FILE1.OPERATOR.SYS
|
 |
| |
|
 | NOTE: If the back reference is omitted, the semicolon (;) serves as a placeholder and must be included. |

You must use a FILE command if you want the device
to be automatically allocated.
Refer to "Naming the Backup", in Chapter 3, "Preparing Storage Devices,"
for more information on the FILE command.
When using FOS RESTORE, you can only restore files from a single
tape device, or from multiple tape devices in a serial pool. You
cannot restore files from parallel devices. If you have purchased
TurboSTORE/iX II (B5151AA) or TurboSTORE/iX 7x24 True-Online Backup
(B5152AA), then you can use parallel devices or parallel device pools
to restore files.
