9.3 Using BACKUP and RESTORE With the 5155/5159 Tape
Drive and the 9710 ACS Tape Subsystem
BACKUP and RESTORE are two of the most commonly used
utilities for moving files between a Tandem system and cartridge
tapes. BACKUP can be used to copy disk files to magnetic tape on
a regular basis. If one or more disk files are lost or destroyed,
RESTORE can be used to replace the lost files from tape.
To begin a BACKUP or RESTORE operation when using the 9710
ACS Tape Subsystem, a cartridge must be loaded into one of the
drive(s) contained within the 9710 Tape Subsystem. For operations
requiring a single cartridge, the tape drive writes to or reads from
the tape, then the robot unloads the cartridge (unless the
NOUNLOAD option was specified), and loads the next requested
tape label cartridge.
9.3.1 Using Multiple Cartridges
For BACKUP or RESTORE operations requiring multiple
cartridges, the system issues a mount request that the robot receives
via the server and the new cartridge loaded. See the examples
below.
For more information on the BACKUP and RESTORE utilities,
refer to the Guardian Disk and Tape Utilities Reference Manual.
