Restoring All Files

To restore all files, follow these steps:

1. On the file selection screen, type r* next to one ** Recomped ** descriptor or one file name on the recomputed minidisk for the minidisk you want to restore. Or, type r next to one ** Recomped ** descriptor on the Select Version of Minidisk or Directory to Restore screen.
2. Press PF9 (Submit) to submit your request. CA VM:Backup displays the Specify Restore Options screen.
3. Type 1 to restore the data to a minidisk. To make sure that only the files are restored, restore to a non-recomputed minidisk.
4. Respond no to the following question:

   Format the disk or clear the directory before restoring?

   CA VM:Backup restores the files and tries to restore the recomputed area. Because the target minidisk is not recomputed, CA VM:Backup cannot restore the recomputed area. (If you type yes, CA VM:Backup formats the minidisk and makes it a recomputed minidisk.)
