STORE/RESTORE
STORE/RESTORE
Syntax
To invoke STORE enter:
STORE
fileset [; parameters ]
To invoke RESTORE enter:
RESTORE
storfile [; parameters ]
Operation
Use STORE/RESTORE to store and restore one or more files and directories to and from tape.
It has special options that allow you to store files for backup, transport, or archival
purposes.
For example, to store all files in all groups in the MFG account, enter:
FILE T;DEV=TAPE
STORE @.@.MFG;*T;SHOW
The system issues a file equation with your logon user name as the
formal file
designator
. You can implicitly use that file equation by omitting a file reference in your
STORE command. For example:
STORE @.@.MFG;;SHOW
To restore all files in all groups in the MFG account, enter:
FILE T;DEV=TAPE
RESTORE *T;@.@.MFG;SHOW
You may implicitly reference the system-generated file equation by omitting the *T. You
must retain the semicolon as a placeholder, however.
