Selecting Files

From the restore selection list, you can select as many files identified by filename and filetype as you want. CA VM:Backup processes the request and restores the files to your virtual reader.

If you want to restore data directly to one of your minidisks or directories, or to another user's virtual reader, you must set your expertise level to EXPERT and follow instructions in Expert Restores CMS Files, Minidisks, and SFS Directories.

To select one or more files to restore, follow these steps:

1. Type r in the Req column next to each file you want to restore or press PF10 (Select All) to add r in the Req column next to all the files. Press PF10 (Deselect All) to clear selections added through PF10 (Select All). If necessary, press PF7 (Backward) or PF8 (Forward) to move through the list. You can also enter top or bottom on the command line to move to the first or last files listed, respectively.
2. After making all your selections, press PF9 (Submit) to submit the request to CA VM:Backup for processing. CA VM:Backup processes the restore request to restore files to your virtual reader.
