Restoring the Entire Minidisk

You can restore both the files and the recomputed portion of the minidisk. You must restore recomputed data to a recomputed minidisk. The recomputed portion of the target minidisk must be the same size as the recomputed portion of the backed-up version of the minidisk.

To restore both the files and the recomputed portion of the minidisk, follow these steps:

1. On the file selection screen, type r* next to one ** Recomped ** descriptor or any file name from the recomputed minidisk. Or, type r next to one ** Recomped ** descriptor for the minidisk you want to restore 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.
4. Type the virtual address of one recomputed minidisk in the Minidisk field.
5. Press ENTER to submit your request.

CA VM:Backup must restore the files and the recomputed area to the same locations on the target minidisk that they occupied on the source minidisk. You must restore a CKD minidisk to a CKD minidisk, and an FBA minidisk to an FBA minidisk.
