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.
