Restoring Files

RESTORE Command Options

To change the dates and times to the date you restored the ﬁles, use the NEWDATE option.

For example:

:FILE T;DEV=TAPE

:RESTORE *T;@.@.@;NEWDATE

You will probably want to use NEWDATE when you RESTORE archived ﬁles, so that you do not

quickly archive them again.

Restoring Directory Information (DIRECTORY)

Use the DIRECTORY parameter to restore directory information from backup. To do this,

you must have system supervisor (OP) or system manager (SM) capability. All system and

volume set directories located are restored. For example, to RESTORE all ﬁles and all

directories from a backup, enter:

:FILE T;DEV=TAPE

:RESTORE *T;@.@.@;DIRECTORY

If you use the LOCAL, ACCOUNT, GROUP, CREATOR, or CREATE parameter with DIRECTORY,

RESTORE does not create or change accounts, groups, or users for ﬁles that belong to

directories on tape. The LOCAL, ACCOUNT, GROUP, CREATOR, and CREATE parameters will

create accounting structures only for the ﬁles that do not belong to the directories you

restore.

All HFS directories, and directories from any other volume sets that were stored, are also

restored when DIRECTORY is speciﬁed.

NOTE

When RESTORESET option is used with DIRECTORY, please restore the

directories ﬁrst if they are not already on the system with "RESTORE

;;DIRECTORY" command before restoring the ﬁles with the RESTORESET

option.

Finding Out What Is on Your Tape (LISTDIR)

Use the LISTDIR parameter of the RESTORE command to display information from the tape

directory and tape label without restoring any ﬁles. The tape creation type, record size,

and any ﬁles that match your ﬁleset list display. LISTDIR may not be speciﬁed with any

other parameter except DIRECTORY, TREE, and NOTREE.

NOTE

The LISTDIR parameter works only using native mode STORE tapes and not

with tapes created for MPE V/E using the automatic TRANSPORT mode of the

STORE command.

The following example shows a sample RESTORE command and output display format using

the LISTDIR parameter:
