Restoring if Linked Read-Only by Others

If restoring to a minidisk, enter your response to the question:

If MINIDISK: Restore even if linked read-only by you or others?

By default (NO), if you or other users are linked to the target minidisk (that is, the minidisk to which the data will be restored), CA VM:Backup will not restore the minidisk until all users linked to the minidisk (in either read or write mode) have detached this minidisk.

To allow CA VM:Backup to restore data to a minidisk even if you or other users are linked read-only, type yes. CA VM:Backup will not restore the minidisk until all users linked to the minidisk in write mode have detached the minidisk.

CA VM:Backup will send a detach request to all of these users. For instructions on responding to the CA VM:Backup detach requests, see Responding to CA VM:Backup Messages.
