Restoring Files
Referencing Files in a RESTORE Command
Referencing Files in a RESTORE Command
You can name a single file to RESTORE, several individual files, or all the files from one or
more STORE tapes. The group of files you want to RESTORE is called a fileset. In addition to
naming many kinds of filesets, you can name file subsets to exclude from the RESTORE
process.
As a system supervisor (with OP capability) or a system manager (with SM capability),
you can RESTORE any file in the system. To RESTORE a file that is not in your logon group
and account, you must specify the complete name of the file in the form
filename.group.account . If you do not name an account for the file, RESTORE assumes
your logon account.
If you do not name a group, RESTORE assumes your current group. Thus, if you want to
restore a file from your logon group and account, you need only specify its filename.
RESTORE does not RESTORE a file if its group and account do not exist on your system,
unless you instruct RESTORE to create accounts and groups (using the CREATE parameter).
Refer to "Creating Accounts, Groups, and Creators", later in this chapter.
RESTORE uses the same guidelines and syntax to describe files to be restored as STORE. See
the "Referencing Files in a STORE Command," in Chapter 5, "Storing Files."
You do not need to specify a fileset for the RESTORE command. If you omit a list of files in
the RESTORE command, the default is to restore a fileset based on your capabilities, as
follows:
• @.
group.account for users
• @.@.
account for the account manager (AM)
• @.@.@ for the system manager (SM) and system supervisor (OP)
