Linking Minidisks During Restore Jobs

During a TPI restore job submitted by a restore job template file, CA VM:Backup links each target minidisk when it is ready to restore data to the minidisk, and detaches it when the data is restored. Because CA VM:Backup processes backup instances one at a time, each minidisk may be linked and detached several times during a restore job. During an end user restore, CA VM:Backup links once to the target minidisk, restores all instances, and then detaches the minidisk.

An option in the restore job template file allows you to determine whether you want CA VM:Backup to wait for users linked to a target minidisk to detach their minidisks. For information, see the OPTIONS record for restore templates in the Template Programming Interface Guide.
