._HFSGRP._HFSACCT
Where
#######
represents numbered files starting at 0000001.
A mapping file is also on the media. This file specifies the mapping between the _HFSACCT
name and the actual HFS name. The name of this file is HFSMAP._HFSGRP._HFSACCT.
Sample entries in the file would look similar to this:
F0000001._HFSGRP._HFSACCT <- /SYS/PUB/dir1/file_a
F0000002._HFSGRP._HFSACCT <- /SYS/PUB/dir1/file_b
F0000003._HFSGRP._HFSACCT <- /SYS/PUB/dir1/file_c
Since _HFSGRP and _HFSACCT are illegal MPE filenames, special steps must be taken when
attempting to restore these files on a pre-POSIX system. The LOCAL option can be used to
restore the HFS files into your logon group. For example, on a pre-POSIX system, issue:
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE
:RESTORE *T;@.@.@HFSACCT;SHOW;LOCAL
Alternately, you can specify a specific group and account to place the HFS files, using the
CREATE, GROUP, and ACCOUNT options:
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE
:RESTORE *T;@.@.@HFSACCT;SHOW;CREATE;GROUP=NEWGRP;ACCT=MYACCT
This will restore all of the HFS syntax files to the group NEWGRP.MYACCT. The HFSMAP file
will allow to you identify the real names of the
F#######
files.
If you want to only restore MPE syntax files from the backup, that can be accomplished by
the following command:
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE
:RESTORE *T;@.@.@ - @.@.@HFSACCT;SHOW;CREATE
NOTE
There are certain types of files that exist on a POSIX system that have no
equivalent on a pre-POSIX system, such as symbolic links and device links. It
is not recommended that you attempt to restore these files on a pre-POSIX
system. They will contain no useful information for that system, and may be
difficult to use or purge.
Preserving File Security An argument of the TRANSPORT option allows POSIX style
ACD's to be translated to pre-POSIX systems, while maintaining the correct security.
Using TRANSPORT=MPEXL will cause STORE to write out the pre-POSIX format ACD's. If a
POSIX media is created without TRANSPORT=MPEXL, and then restored to a pre-POSIX
system, the ACD's will not be understood and the system will enforce a "creator only"
security. This provides a more restrictive security. Also, all POSIX-related fields of the file
labels being stored are cleared on the backup media.
Specifying the Number of Files to Store (FILES)
The FILES parameter works with the TRANSPORT parameter. By default, MPE/iX stores a
maximum of 4000 files at a time. If you are storing more than 4000 files using the
TRANSPORT parameter, use the FILES= parameter to specify the maximum number of files
to be stored. If you do not use the TRANSPORT parameter, the FILES= parameter is ignored.
For example, to set the maximum number of files stored to 6000 for a TRANSPORT backup,
