Restoring from Labeled Tapes
Restoring files from labeled tapes requires that the RESTORE command
include a RESTORE file reference that was named previously in a file
equation. For example:
:FILE TAPE7=BACKUP.JAN29;DEV=TAPE;LABEL="VOL25",ANS,02/28/90
To recover all files in the volume set, you would then enter the
following RESTORE command.
:RESTORE *TAPE7;@.@.@;restoreoptions
The system then requests that you mount the first volume of the volume
set. For example:
?23:20/#S1/49/Mount tape of volumeset VOL25 (ANS)
After you mount the volume and it is recognized by the system, RESTORE
continues. If the tape mounted is the first volume of the set, file
recovery begins automatically. If the tape mounted is not the first
volume of the set, you are prompted for the first volume. For example:
23:17/15/Vol XYZ (ANS) of set VOL25 mounted on LDEV# 7
23:17/#S1/50/MOUNT REEL 1 OF VOLSET VOL25 FOR RESTORE ON LDEV 7
NOTE Labeled tapes cannot be used to RESTORE with a sequential device
configuration.
