Use the RESTORE command to copy system files, user files, and the file system
directory from your STORE backups to disk.
To restore system and user files from your most recent backups, perform the following steps:
First gather all the units of backup media from your most recent backup.
Mount the backup(s) on the backup drive(s) and bring the drive(s) online.
After a system failure, only LDEV 1 is available as the system volume
set. You must use the VOLUTIL program in order to initialize your other volume
sets, if you have not done so already. This can be done with the following set
of commands:
:VOLUTIL
volutil: NEWVOL volumesetname:membername LDEV=nn
|
The volumesetname for the system volume set is MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET.
Issue the NEWVOL command for each member of the volume set. For more
detailed instructions, see the Volume Management Reference Manual (32650-90045).
Issue the following FILE and RESTORE commands to copy the files from
the backup media.
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE
:RESTORE *T;@.@.@;KEEP;OLDDATE;DIRECTORY
|
Monitor the console for tape requests.
Mount additional backup media when necessary until you have copied all files from all backups.
