Resync Time is 08/23/96 09:10:54
As described above, NBSYNC has two basic functions. In normal mode, NBSYNC invokes the
appropriate :RESTORE command (OLDDATE option specified) and then proceeds to reset all
directory status flags for any files restored. It also notes the last modify time for each file restored.
Note. Also, if you wish to resync a database using a tape drive other than the default
(DEV=TAPE), you can issue a file equation prior to running NBSYNC:
:FILE NBSYNC;DEV=DAT
:RUN NBSYNC.PUB.NETBASE, entry point
With the above equation, NBSYNC will expect the DAT tape drive to contain a tape with the data
being restored.
To have the restore list sent to the device LP:
:FILE NBSYNCLP;DEV=LP
:RUN NBSYNC.PUB.NETBASE
