Restoring Only the Recomputed Area

You must restore recomputed data to a recomputed minidisk. The recomputed portion of the target minidisk must be the same size and type as the recomputed portion of the backed-up version of the minidisk. Because the recomputed area of a minidisk is backed up in physical format, you must restore a CKD minidisk to a CKD minidisk, and an FBA minidisk to an FBA minidisk.

To restore only the recomputed area of a minidisk, follow these steps:

1. On the file selection screen, type r next to one ** Recomped ** descriptor for the minidisk you want to restore.
2. Press PF9 (Submit) to submit your request. CA VM:Backup displays the Restore Files to Reader, Minidisk, or Directory screen.
3. Type 2 to restore the data to a minidisk.
4. Type the virtual address of a recomputed minidisk in the Vaddr field.
5. Press ENTER to submit your request.

Note: The CA VM:Backup system administrator sets the maximum number of files that CA VM:Backup displays. If your restore request exceeds this number, CA VM:Backup asks you to limit the search by specifying more narrow selection criteria through Option 2 on the main menu.

When the Select Files by Date Range or File Name screen appears, ask to see the backups of the recomputed area by typing *recomp in the Filename field and *data* in the Filetype field.
