Restoring Different Format Tapes

RESTORE can restore ﬁles from any tape created by STORE. This includes tapes that were

made using TurboSTORE only options, such as compression (COMPRESS), online (ONLINE),

interleave (INTER), and parallel store sets (STORESET=). Even if you have not purchased a

version of TurboSTORE, basic RESTORE can still copy the ﬁles off of the tape.

For a tape that was created by an online STORE, the original state of the ﬁle is constructed

based on the written ﬁle data, plus any online log information that follows the ﬁle. The ﬁle

will be restored to the state it was at the time of the attach.

You can also RESTORE ﬁles from a tape that was created with parallel store sets, even if you

have only one tape device, or have fewer tape devices than were used to create the tape.

Mount the media from the ﬁrst store set initially. When RESTORE has ﬁnished reading ﬁles

from that set, it will prompt you to mount media from the next set. It will continue to

request media until all ﬁles have been restored.

RESTORE can restore ﬁles from a tape which is in MPE/VE STORE format. MPE/VE STORE

format tapes are made when the TRANSPORT option is speciﬁed on an MPE/iX STORE

command. When restoring from an MPE/VE STORE format tape, the STORE or TSTORE

program will sense that the tape is in MPE/VE STORE format and invoke CMSTORE to

RESTORE the ﬁles. However, the following options are not available in CMSTORE:

• DIRECTORY

• LISTDIR

• FCRANGE

• VOLSET

• VOL

• VOLCLASS

• COPYACD

• NOACD

• RESTORESET

• TREE

• NOTREE
