Performing System Operation Tasks

Chapter 7  Copying Files from Tape 

To copy one or more files stored on a tape to disk, you use the RESTORE
command.  For example, you might need to restore a single file when a
user accidentally deletes it.  Or, someone may ask you to restore all the
files in an account (after you have permanently archived it and deleted
the files) because the user needs access to the files again.  After a
system failure, you might need to restore all of your files from backup
tapes.

In this chapter, you will find the procedures to perform the following
tasks:

   *   Determining what files are on a STORE tape

   *   Restoring MPE and HFS files

   *   Restoring files to specific volumes or to a specific device

   *   Restoring files with a specified file code

   *   Listing restored files

   *   Specifying a maximum number of files to restore

   *   Specifying modification and last access dates

   *   Restoring directory information

   *   Using indirect files

   *   Selecting an error recovery method

   *   Mounting additional tapes
