Restoring a Minidisk or Directory

To restore an encrypted minidisk or directory, follow these steps:

1. On either the Select Minidisk or Directory From Which to Restore screen or the Select Version of Minidisk or Directory to Restore screen, type r in the Req column next to one minidisk or directory you want to restore. You can only make one selection on this screen.

   If the domain list extends over more than one screen, you can enter the command top or bottom on the command line to move to the top or bottom of the list, or you can enter /string to find the first domain whose virtual address or directory name includes certain characters. For example, enter /19 to find either the first minidisk whose virtual address includes the characters "19" or the first directory whose directory name includes the characters "19". You cannot use pattern matching.

2. Press PF9 (Submit) to submit your request. If the minidisk or directory you select was encrypted when it was backed up, CA VM:Backup displays the Restore From an Encrypted Backup screen. Skip to Step 4.
3. On the file selection screen, to restore an entire minidisk or directory, type r* next to the ** Encrypted ** descriptor for the minidisk or directory you want to restore. CA VM:Backup displays the Restore From an Encrypted Backup screen.
4. Type the security key used to encrypt the data when it was backed up. When you have correctly entered the security key, CA VM:Backup asks you for additional information based on the type of backup performed.
