Restoration of files, using Tapes+ and Backpack/iX, is now automated.
To restore a file, at the colon prompt (:) enter:
:RESTOREF filename
This will produce a list of backups which has a number by each row, indicating a selection of the tape set from which the file may be retrieved.
Each one of these will have a "last modified" date associated with the file name, so the choice can be clear for which file may be selected.
The filename MUST not contain any "wildcard characters" such as, "@" or "#" and the file must reside on some backup.
If you do not want to choose a file from the selection list, enter a non-numeric character, such as "E" to terminate the program.
When a file is successfully processed, a list of filenames of the backups with the appropriate tape volume serial number and generation number will be generated.
A file designated "RESTOREJ" will be created, and the file should be complete enough to stream the job to do the actual restore.
Care must be taken that the tapes required for the restore are obtained before streaming the job.
Note that in the restore process, Backpack requires the last tape of the primary backup device be mounted first to get the complete directory from the last of the tape.
This tape may be noted as the last tape volume serial number of the first backup file, if there is more than one tape and more than one device used in the original backup of the file.
Backups to disc as virtual tape is also managed.

END OF PROGRAM :Note that in this case, tape 800547 was the last tape of the first backup file, and would be the one chosen to mount first [with the assumption that the files used to back up to multiple devices simultaneously are in alphabetic order by file name.
Generally, the userid generating the RESTOREJ file should have at least "OP" capability to be able to perform the restore.
The RESTOREJ file is not streamed automatically because some of the options, such as "KEEP", the file name restored might be "filename@", and / or the "!JOB" card may need to reflect another user.account name and may require editing the file before streaming it.
RESTOREF Script Contents:
PARM OPTS=" " FILE CSB.BACKUPS.ACCOUNTS;GMULTI;SHR RUN CSB220.UTIL.SYS;PARM=2;INFO="!OPTS"
Additional Options
The same program, CSB220, has additional options for surveying the backup files.
These additional options are given as follows:
To check on backed-up files, the script "CSBX" may be used.
Usage:
First parameter is a number from 0 to 4.
Second Parameter is a character input.
The command is invoked from a colon prompt on the HP e3000 as follows:
:CSBX n,info
Example:
:CSBX 0,TEST.GROUP.ACCOUNT
