Summary of Restoring SQL/MX or OSS Objects
or a CLASS TAPE DEFINE. For more information,
see Using DEFINEs With Backup and Restore 2 on page 4-6
4. To locate the set of tapes associated with a specific backup job, you can query the
DSM/TC. However, DSM/TC does not contain file information. You must know
which tape contains the files you need. To obtain a list of objects on a tape, see
Listing the Contents on Tape Without Restoring Data on page 7-10
5. If you plan to specify a different target destination for OSS objects or SQL/MX
objects, create the target if it does not already exist.
6. Check that you have security access to the objects to be restored and to any
objects to be overwritten.
7. Issue a RESTORE command from BRCOM. Specify OSS objects, SQL/MX
objects, or a combination of both. Optionally, you can also:
Specify a target destination on the current system to restore the objects that is
different from where the objects were at the time of the backup job. The target
must exist before you issue the RESTORE command.
Specify job options
Specify configuration options to override the defaults
8. Check the EMS event log for operator instructions and messages
You can have more than one restore job at the same time. However, simultaneous
restore jobs that share common destinations might have unpredictable results.
The summary information displayed after the restore displays the status of the restore,
which includes processed, restored, and skipped objects. The objects restored count
does not include the BRIC file.
OSS Total Objects Restored Count
The count of the total objects restored does not match the total objects backed up for
the following reasons:
You can backup an entire directory tree and choose to restore a sub-directory or a
single file.
Restoring to the same location does not restore existing directories. As a result,
they are not included in the restored objects count.
Restoring objects with filters does not restore all the objects in the backup image, it
restores only those objects satisfying the criteria.
Restoring with KEEP ON job option does not restore existing file objects. As a
result, they are included in the restored object count.
