Use the Restore Incomplete Tape Sets (VMBRITS) utility to restore data from incomplete tape sets and to restore some or all of the CA VM:Backup system minidisks. For example, if a few tapes in your backup job are damaged or you no longer have a catalog that was associated with that backup job, you only need the specific tapes that contain the files you want to restore instead of the complete tape set. Data must have been backed up in CMS format from physical tapes created without encryption.
You can also use this utility to restore some or all of the CA VM:Backup system minidisks if a failure in one of these minidisks occurs. For example, during a disaster recovery, you can use VMBRITS to restore each of the CA VM:Backup minidisks directly from the backup tapes once the primary components of the system have been restored using HiDRO.
You cannot use VMBRITS to restore CA VM:Backup system minidisks that were backed up physically. Also, you cannot use VMBRITS to restore SFS data from tape to disk; this includes SFS data that CA VM:Backup backs up for CA VM:Archiver. When you have restored the CA VM:Backup system, use CA VM:Backup to restore SFS files from the backup tapes.
