STORE and TurboSTORE/iX Command Options

STORE Options

up the system and/or nonsystem volume set directories (account structure). You may then

reload the account structure in the event of a system disaster by restoring the directory

onto the system from the backup media. You have the added ﬂexibility of backing up the

directories of nonsystem volumes attached to the system as a part of or as a separate

entity from the system. This allows a nonsystem volume (volume set) to become a separate

reliable entity. System supervisor (OP) or system manager (SM) capability is required to

use the DIRECTORY parameter.

NOTE

When using the DIRECTORY parameter, the default ﬁleset list is empty. This

allows a backup to be created that contains only directory accounting

information for the system volume set, or for the speciﬁed volume sets.

Here is an example of how to back up the system directory and all other ﬁles along with a

nonsystem volume set directory and its ﬁles:

:FILE T;DEV=TAPE

:STORE @.@.@;*T;DIRECTORY;ONVS=MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET,NV1

where NV1 is the name of a nonsystem volume set.

Storing Files in Compatible Formats (TRANSPORT)

The TRANSPORT option stores ﬁles on media that is compatible with:

• MPE V/E systems (TRANSPORT)

• Pre-POSIX systems (TRANSPORT=MPEXL)

Creating MPE V/E Compatible STORE Tapes

Use the TRANSPORT parameter of STORE to create STORE backups that are compatible with

MPE V/E. For example, to store all of the ﬁles in the PERSONEL account onto an MPE V/E

compatible backup, enter:

:FILE T;DEV=TAPE

:STORE @.@.PERSONEL;*T;TRANSPORT

The backup that is produced with the TRANSPORT parameter uses the same format as MPE

V/E STORE backup format. Therefore, ﬁles that are not compatible with MPE V/E (due to

ﬁle/record size limitations or new ﬁle types), are not stored if TRANSPORT is speciﬁed. The

TRANSPORT option cannot be used with the following STORE and TurboSTORE options:
