Restore; Security - HP BACKCOPY Reference Manual

7 RESTORE

The RESTORE utility copies files from magnetic tape to disk. The BACKUP utility (discussed in
Chapter 3: BACKUP
from disk to magnetic tape. RESTORE lets you:
Copy files from magnetic tape to disk (The tape must be created with BACKUP.)
List the contents of a tape without restoring data
Convert files from one disk-process type to another type (for example, from DP1 to DP2)
CAUTION:
and Restore utilities (T9074). If you enter the syntax incorrectly for each file type at the BRCOM
prompt, BRCOM might not be able to determine if the command needs to be forwarded to the
Backup and Restore utilities (T9074).
You must use the syntax documented in this manual for Enscribe and SQL/MP files. For OSS and
SQL/MX files, you must use the syntax documented in the Backup and Restore 2.0 Manual.
NOTE: Newer operating system software uses the DP2 standard and does not always support
the DP1 standard. A conversion might be a one-time maintenance operation (or an infrequent
necessity) when an old backup tape is restored.
NOTE: BRCOM does not support the same tape format as the Backup and Restore utilities (T9074).
You cannot mix Enscribe and SQL/MP files on the same tape with OSS and SQL/MX files.
Use labeled tapes
Move files from one system to another
NOTE: Do not run RESTORE under a user ID with Safeguard default protection because all of
the files that are restored to disk will have Safeguard protection.

Security
RESTORE is a privileged program. Each customer determines which users are allowed to run it.
You can control access to RESTORE in several ways, including:
Do not license the program file for general use. Without licensing, only the super ID (255,255)
can run the RESTORE utility. Also, if RESTORE is not licensed, SQL tables cannot be restored
by anyone, including the super ID.
License the program file and limit access to some subset of users by either setting file security
attributes or using a Safeguard access-control list.

The syntax for Backup and Restore 2.0 is different from the syntax for the Backup
