Creating Pre-POSIX Compatible Tapes

With the addition of HFS syntax ﬁles and other new POSIX-related features, mechanisms

exist in STORE to allow backups to be created on a POSIX system and restored on a

pre-POSIX system (4.0 or earlier). Pre-POSIX backups are created using the

TRANSPORT=MPEXL option. For example:

:STORE @.MYGR.SOMEACCT;*T;SHOW;TRANSPORT=MPEXL

There are two general scenarios when ﬁles would need to be transferred to a pre-POSIX

system:

• Planned Transport

The user stores off a set of ﬁles from one system, to be restored on another system right

away.

• Unplanned Transport

The data stored off from a system (usually a system backup) is suddenly required to be

restored on the same or a different system. This kind of transport is usually done to

recover lost data and may require a POSIX system's backup to be restored on a

pre-POSIX system.

With these two cases in mind, STORE has the following objectives with respect to data

transport:

• The media created on a POSIX system should be restorable on a pre-POSIX as well as a

post-POSIX release.

• The planned transport operation should be as simple and easy as possible.

• A default name conﬂict should not exist. This means that the naming of non-MPE

syntax ﬁles on a transport to a pre-POSIX system should occur such that the user does

not inadvertently overwrite previously transported ﬁles.

• For each of the transport situations, the security should be at least equal to or more

restrictive than require on the target system.

The following sections list the features in STORE which address these objectives.

HFS Name Mapping Every POSIX STORE media is created such that any HFS syntax

ﬁle can be restored to a pre-POSIX system with a unique MPE syntax name. When

restoring a backup to a pre-POSIX system, the ﬁleset of @.@.@HFSACCT will contain all

HFS syntax ﬁles on that media. These ﬁles are named with the MPE syntax of:
