Lesson 2 Storing and Restoring Files from Tape 

Q 4-5                 To store all the files in your account to tape you
                      would enter:

                      STORE @.@;*T

Q 4-6                 To store all files on a tape to be restored to an
                      MPE V system, you would enter:

                      STORE M@.@;*T;TRANSPORT

Q 4-7                 RESTORE *T;@.PROJECT.ACCTx

Exercise 4-4:  Lesson 2 Review 

STORE and RESTORE problems:

   1.  The tape name needs to be backreferenced in the STORE command:

       STORE @.@.ADVUSER;*T

   2.  Check the tape drive densities and system types.  The problem may
       result from different tape densities or different systems or both.
       If either of these conditions exist, you need to go through the
       Store procedure again, adding the DEN= and/or TRANSPORT parameters
       as necessary.

   3.  To store the files:

            FILE T;DEV=TAPE;DEN=1600
            STORE @.PUB.ADVUSER;*T;TRANSPORT

       To restore the files:

            FILE T;DEV=TAPE
            RESTORE *T;@.PUB.ADVUSER

   4.  This is one of the potential problems resulting from using the
       PURGE parameter.  Use it cautiously.  In the event of tape
       problems, check with system management for help with the tape.
       Also, check with them for the availability of system backup tapes
       made recently in order to recover copies of the files.
