To restore only the most recent backed-up version of a minidisk or directory from the Select Minidisk or Directory From Which to Restore screen, follow these steps:

  1. Type yes in response to the following question:

    Restore or view only the latest version?

  2. Type r next to the virtual address of one minidisk or the directory name of one directory you want to restore. You can select only one entry on the screen.
  3. Press PF9 (Submit) to submit the request.

CA VM:Backup displays the Specify Restore Options screen unless the minidisk was encrypted or backed up in a physical format. For instructions on restoring data to one of your minidisks or directories on this screen, see Restoring CMS Files to a Reader or Restoring to an SFS Directory, respectively.

If you are restoring a minidisk or directory that was encrypted when it was backed up, CA VM:Backup displays the Restore From an Encrypted Backup screen. For instructions on restoring encrypted data on this screen, see Restoring From an Encrypted Backup.

If you are restoring a minidisk that was backed up in a physical format, CA VM:Backup displays the Restore From a Physical Backup screen. For instructions on restoring from a physical backup on this screen, see Restoring From a Physical Backup.
