Viewing File Links

One BFS file can have several file names. Each name is a link to the file. The following steps describe how to view the links to a specific file displayed on the file selection screen. You can also use these instructions to view the complete file name component for a specific file and to determine the full directory pathname associated with a directory reference number.

1. Place your cursor in the Req column next to a file and press PF10 (Seename) to have CA VM:Backup list the following:
   • Complete file name component of the selected file
   • Full directory pathname of the directory from which the selected file was backed up
   • Links backed up for the selected file

   CA VM:Backup displays the View File Links screen. This screen displays all links for the selected file. The links include both the full directory pathname and the complete file name component.

   The first item listed is the full directory pathname and complete file name component for the selected file. The subsequent lines contain information about links to the same file. Use PF7 (Backward) and PF8 (Forward) to view all links to the file.

2. Press PF3 (End) to exit the View File Links screen and return to the file selection screen.
