Listing the Contents on Tape Without Restoring Data
Listing the Contents and Restoring the BRIC File to Disk
You can restore the BRIC file to disk if you plan to issue multiple RESTORE
commands for the same backup job. You can then avoid restoring the BRIC from tape
each time you issue a RESTORE command for that backup job. Use the
RESTOREDIR job option to restore the BRIC file from tape to disk. For more
information, see RESTOREDIR Job Option on page 7-49. When you specify the
RESTOREDIR job option, you do not need to specify an object to be restored.
However, the LISTONLY job option requires one or more object specifications.
Use the RESTORE command with the LISTONLY ON and RESTOREDIR job
options. For example:
BR> RESTORE $TAPE, OSS /, LISTONLY ON, OUT $SYSTEM.MY.LIST,
BR+> RESTOREDIR $SYSTEM.JAVA.JOE ;
For the display from this command, see Example 7-1 on page 7-13 and
Example 7-4 on page 7-19.
Use the RESTORE command with the LISTONLY, DETAIL option. For example:
BR> RESTORE $TAPE, OSS /, LISTONLY DETAIL, OUT
BR+> $SYSTEM.MY.LIST, RESTOREDIR $SYSTEM.JAVA.JOE ;
For the display from this command, see Example 7-2 on page 7-15.
Listing the Contents Using the BRIC Disk File
If you restored the BRIC file from tape to disk using the RESTOREDIR job option, you
can list any of the objects backed up in a particular backup job without having to mount
any tapes. Use the RESTORE command with the DIRECTORY option and either the
LISTONLY ON job option or LISTONLY DETAIL job option.
Use the RESTORE command with the DIRECTORY option and LISTONLY ON
option. For example:
BR> RESTORE $TAPE, OSS /, LISTONLY ON, DIRECTORY
BR+> $SYSTEM.JAVA.JOE ;
For more information, see LISTONLY Job Option
on page 7-43. For the display
from this command, see Example 7-1 on page 7-13 and Example 7-4 on
page 7-19.
Use the RESTORE command with the DIRECTORY option and the LISTONLY,
DETAIL option. For example:
BR> RESTORE $TAPE, OSS /, LISTONLY DETAIL, DIRECTORY
BR+> $SYSTEM.JAVA.JOE ;
For the display from this command, see Example 7-2 on page 7-15.
