SAVE
SAVE is used with the VOLUTIL RECOVER command for recovering disk files
if there is a system failure, a directory corruption, or a disk becomes
inaccessible to the operating system. The SAVE function retrieves the
files from disk and copies them to magnetic tape for later recovery (via
the VOLUTIL RECOVER command).
For more information on VOLUTIL, refer to chapter 4, "Troubleshooting".

Use the filename.groupname.acctname syntax where:
filename is the file designator
The file(s) must reside on a disk available
when DISCUTIL was started or one that was
made available with the DISCUTIL CONFIGURE
command.
groupname is an optional group designator.
acctname is an optional account designator.
If you press Return without entering a file set, DISCUTIL ends the
SAVE command.
The parameters filename, groupname, and acctname may be replaced
by @ to signify "all members of the set" (for example, @.@.@).
The prompt is repeated after the file set is saved. To terminate
SAVE, press Return.
2. Enter RETURN at the following prompt:

To save files from a particular logical device (disk), enter the
LDEV now. SAVE searches only the specified disk for the file(s)
you want to save. You may also press Return at this prompt to
indicate you want SAVE to search each LDEV for file(s). The LDEV
entered must be one that is known to DISCUTIL. Use the PDEV
command to determine if an LDEV is valid. For more information on
DISCUTIL, refer to chapter 4 of this manual, and to the System
Utilities Manual (32650-90081).
4. The SAVE command prompts you for a volume set name if you did not
specify an LDEV number.

Enter a volume set name if you want SAVE to search for file(s) on
a particular volume set. Use the PDEV command to determine valid

search all disks for the file(s).

number for the month, and YYYY is a four-digit number for the
year. Omit the date specification and press Return at the prompt
to save all files requested.
