Using Run Options In A Restore Command - HP Guardian User Manual

Backing Up and Restoring Disk Information
Restore prompts you for tape drive $TAPE1 with the "Not Ready?"message.
3. Mount your tape and press Return. Restore copies the specified files from tape to
disk.
The above command includes the OUT option to send the listing to the file LIST and the
NOWAIT option so you can use your terminal for other applications while Restore is
running. The Restore command LISTALL option causes Restore to list all files that are
restored (including any files that cause an error).
To restore a file from tape that has the same name as a file on disk, you must have purge
access to the file on disk, unless you specify the KEEP option.

Using Run Options in a Restore Command

A Restore command can include any run option that is valid for the TACL RUN
command. Run options control the operation of the process you are starting. For a
complete list of run options, see the RUN command in the TACL Reference Manual.
The OUT file option sends the Restore listing to a disk file or a spooler location, such as
a printer. You can specify an existing disk file or a nonexistent file for the OUT file. If
you specify a nonexistent file, Restore creates an entry-sequenced file with that name.
For example, this command sends the Restore listing to the file LIST2 in the current
default subvolume:
10> RESTORE / OUT LIST2 / $TAPE2, $DATA.USER.*
The IN file option specifies a file or device from which Backup reads the command
parameters. If your Restore command contains a long or complicated list of files and
command parameters, entering the command from an IN file can be easier than entering
it interactively.
Instead of typing the parameters when you enter your Restore command, type the
parameters in a command file. Then, when you enter the Restore command, specify this
file for the IN file parameter.
Note. You must use an IN file if your Restore command exceeds 132 characters for a single
command line or 528 characters for a command that continues beyond one command line.
Using Restore Command Options
