Restoring to a CMS Minidisk

You can only restore to a minidisk that belongs to you. To restore to one of your minidisks, follow these steps:

1. If you are restoring an entire minidisk, the Minidisk field on the Specify Restore Options screen contains, by default, the virtual address of the minidisk you selected to restore. If you are restoring an entire directory, this field is blank. Type the virtual address of the minidisk to which you want to restore in the Minidisk field.
2. Answer the questions on the screen to tell CA VM:Backup how you want the files restored to your minidisk. see File Restore Options.
3. Type 1 on the command line and press ENTER to submit your request.

When you restore an SFS directory to a minidisk, CA VM:Backup restores only the files in the directory. CA VM:Backup cannot restore authorizations and aliases to a minidisk.
