If your most recent backups are from a partial backup, you need to reload your remaining files from your most recent full backup.

To restore system and user files from your most recent full backups:

  1. Gather all the backup media from your most recent full backup.

  2. Mount the backup(s) on the backup devices and bring the devices online.

  3. Issue the following FILE and RESTORE commands to copy the files from the backup device. The SHOW=OFFLINE option, if used, lists the files you restored on the system printer.

       :FILE T;DEV=TAPE
    
       :RESTORE *T;@.@.@;SHOW=OFFLINE;KEEP;OLDDATE
    
  4. Monitor the console for tape requests.

  5. Mount additional backup media when necessary until you have copied all files from all backups.
