Restoring BFS Files With No Detail Information

Perform the following steps to restore BFS files for which no detail information is available.

1. On the file selection screen, type r in the Req column next to the appropriate ** No Detail ** descriptor. If necessary, press PF7 (Backward) and PF8 (Forward) to move through the file list.

   Note: When you select a **NoDetail** descriptor, you can only make this one selection.

2. Press PF9 (Submit) to submit your request. CA VM:Backup displays the Restore Files by File Name screen.
3. Type the complete file name component of each file you want to restore on a File name line. You can use pattern matching to restore files with similar file name components. For more information about specifying pattern matching, see Pattern Matching and BFS File Name Components.

   If the complete file name component does not fit in the space provided, place your cursor on a File name line and press PF10 (Seename). CA VM:Backup displays the Specify a File Name screen on which you can specify the complete file name component. After you type the complete file name component, press PF9 (Submit) to return to the Restore Files by File Name screen.

   If you need more File name lines to identify additional files, press PF8 (Forward). Use PF7 (Backward) and PF8 (Forward) to scroll through your list of files.
