Restore BSDS from Backup

If both the BSDS and the Global VCAT are corrupted or lost, restore the BSDS from your latest backup. After it is restored, use the BSDS data set to recover the Global VCAT.

Shut down all the CA Vtape Subsystems that are part of the CA Vtape Complex sharing the BSDS being recovered, before recovering the BSDS.
