RECOVER DISKFILE Command
RECOVER DISKFILE copies one or more disk files from one backup tape set to disk.
To do this, RECOVER DISKFILE searches for the catalog entry of the most current
generation of the backup tape containing the disk files you specify. After the entry is
found, RECOVER DISKFILE constructs and executes, with your approval, a
RESTORE command to copy the disk file from the backup tape.
RECOVER DISKFILE does not copy the disk file if:

You specify multiple disk file names that are not on the same backup tape set.

No entry is found for the disk file name in the available file catalog you ask
RECOVER DISKFILE to search.
