Restoring CMS Files with No Detail Information

This section explains how to restore CMS files for which no detail information is available. You cannot restore any other data when restoring these files. If you want to restore an entire minidisk or directory for which there is no detail information, see Restoring an Entire Minidisk or SFS Directory.

To restore files with no detail information, follow these steps:

1. On the file selection screen, type r in the Req column next to the appropriate ** No Detail ** descriptor. If necessary, press PF7 (Backward) or PF8 (Forward) to move through the file list. You can enter top or bottom on the command line to move to the first or last files listed, respectively.
2. Press PF9 (Submit) to submit your request. CA VM:Backup displays the Restore Files by File Name screen.
3. Type the filenames in the Filename column and the filetypes in the Filetype column of the individual files you want to restore. You can use pattern matching to restore files with similar filenames or filetypes. If you want to restore more than eight uniquely named files, you must create another restore request.
4. Press ENTER to submit your request to CA VM:Backup.
