Issuing a RESTORE Command 

To RESTORE the files from the tape to the system disk, you may optionally
first issue a FILE command.  The optional FILE command names the tape
device and describes its type.  If you do not use a FILE command, RESTORE
creates a default filename.  You must issue a RESTORE command describing:

   *   The files you want to RESTORE

   *   The options you want to use, if any

   *   Back references to the filename of the tape device, unless you use
       the default filename.

For example:

     :FILE T;DEV=TAPE 
     :RESTORE *T;FILE1.OPERATOR.SYS 

or

     :RESTORE ;FILE1.OPERATOR.SYS 


NOTE  If the back reference is omitted, the semicolon (;) serves as a
      placeholder and must be included.


You must use a FILE command if you want the device to be automatically
allocated.

Refer to "Naming the Backup", in Chapter 3, "Preparing Storage Devices,"
for more information on the FILE command.

When using FOS RESTORE, you can only restore files from a single tape
device, or from multiple tape devices in a serial pool.  You cannot
restore files from parallel devices.  If you have purchased TurboSTORE/iX
II (B5151AA) or TurboSTORE/iX 7x24 True-Online Backup (B5152AA), then you
can use parallel devices or parallel device pools to restore files.
