BRCOM RESTORE Command Syntax
BRCOM RESTORE Command Syntax
The syntax for the RESTORE command is:
tape-device-name
is the name of a tape drive that contains the unlabeled tape for the restore
operation or a DEFINE name for a labeled-tape restore operation. Backup and
Restore 2 does not support virtual tape drives created by TAPESIM because
TAPESIM does not support LBA. Any attempt to get the LBA on a tape drive
created by TAPESIM results in file-system error 2. To restore from an unlabeled
tape, specify the tape device directly and do not use a DEFINE. It is one of these:
{ [ \node.]$device | [ \node.]$ldev | define-name }
node
is the name of the node (system) where the tape drive resides.
device
is the name of the magnetic tape drive, such as $TAPE1.
ldev
the device number of the magnetic tape drive, such as $17.
define-name
specifies a DEFINE name of CLASS TAPE or TAPECATALOG for a restore
from labeled tape. The DEFINE sends a request to $ZSVR (the labeled-tape
server process) for labeled-tape processing.
The DEFINE attributes are supported as described in the Guardian Disk and
Tape Utilities Reference Manual and the DSM/Tape Catalog User's Guide. The
exceptions are listed in Table 7-2
on page 7-22.
