OPTIONAL
In a CATSEARCH restore job, the SEARCH record specifies which catalogs the job is to search for information about domains to restore. The job specifies a time period with beginning and ending dates and times. CA VM:Backup searches catalogs created during this time period. When it finds the domain to restore, CA VM:Backup restores the version of the domain that was backed up most recently within this time period. If the version of the domain selected is from an incremental backup, CA VM:Backup uses all previous incremental backups and the full backup on which they are based to perform the restore. CA VM:Backup uses these backups even if they were performed before the start date of the time period.
In a VOLSEARCH restore job, the SEARCH record specifies the time period in which the starting input volume was created. If after mounting the tape CA VM:Backup determines the tape was not created within this time period, the job ends. If the tape was created within the specified time period, the job continues. If the specified tape is from an incremental backup, CA VM:Backup uses all previous incremental backups and the full backup on which they are based to perform the restore. CA VM:Backup uses these backups even if they were performed before the start date of the time period.
If you want CA VM:Backup to perform an incremental-only restore of a minidisk, you must build a TPI job that includes a CUTOFF record.
A file can include multiple SEARCH records. Each record can specify more than one parameter; however, a file can include only one of each parameter.
SEARCH {“Parms”}...
Parms:
ENDDATE mm/dd/yyyy | ENDTIME hh:mm:ss | STARTDATE mm/dd/yyyy | STARTTIME hh:mm:ss
Specifies the most recent day of the time period. The default is 12/31/2041.
Specifies the latest time on the day specified in the ENDDATE parameter. The default is 23:59:59.
Specifies the oldest day in the time period. The default is 01/01/1942.
Specifies the earliest time on the day specified in the STARTDATE parameter. The default is 00:00:00.
Example
Full backups are run on Sunday, October 6, 2013. Daily incremental backups are run on each of the next four days (October 7 through October 10). Using catalogs, you want to restore data from this backup cycle. Include the following records in the CATSEARCH restore job template file:
SEARCH STARTDATE 10/06/2013 SEARCH STARTTIME 00:00:00 SEARCH ENDDATE 10/10/2013 SEARCH ENDTIME 23:59:59
