RESTORE and XRESTORE Command

CA VM:Backup calls VMBEXIT3 with the FORDISK keyword before displaying the specified minidisk or files from the minidisk to the user for restore selection. VMBEXIT3 is called for each minidisk backed up during the authorized time period.

If authorization is granted for a minidisk, CA VM:Backup displays the specified minidisk or files from the minidisk to the user for restore selection. If authorization is denied, CA VM:Backup displays neither the minidisk nor the files from the minidisk. If the user exit returns an invalid return code, CA VM:Backup ends the restore request and issues a message indicating a coding error in VMBEXIT3.

Because files are not displayed to the user for restore selection when the QUIET option of the RESTORE command is specified or if the XRESTORE command is issued, CA VM:Backup restores all files that the user is authorized to restore.

Note: Because directories cannot be restored when using the RESTORE command, the user exit is not called with the FORDIR keyword when processing a RESTORE command.
