Managing Restore Job Template Files

Restore job template files identify the data that a specific job is to restore and how to process the data. For example, you can define restore job template files to handle large restore requests. Restore job template files enable you to restore full DASD volumes or groups of minidisks for several user IDs, account numbers, or ACI security groups.

You may have tapes with no corresponding catalogs. Use a restore job template file to restore data from a set of tapes by specifying the first volser from the tape set.

This chapter explains how to create and maintain restore job template files through Option 4, Manage job templates, on the System Administrator Main Menu. You cannot use this option to create restore job template files that restore SFS or BFS file spaces, user storage groups, or file pools. To perform these functions, use either Option 7, Submit special SFS/BFS restores, or TPI. For more information about restoring SFS or BFS data using TPI, see the Starting Special SFS and BFS Restores section. Also refer to the Template Programming Interface Guide.
