Even if the catalog that was created during a backup no longer exists, or no catalog was created, CA VM:Backup can locate and restore the required data, if the tapes created during the backup are available. Volsers for the next and previous tapes that are used in the backup are kept in the tape labels unless CA VM:Backup has been configured otherwise. (See the "TAPECHAIN Record" section in the System Programmer Reference Guide.) To restore without a catalog, all tapes that were created during all backup jobs from which CA VM:Backup is restoring must be available.
To specify the starting input tape for VOLSEARCH restore jobs, use the If Scanning Tapes section of the Work with Restore Template template screen.
To specify the tape and data set from which to restore data, fill in the following fields:
Type the volser of the tape from which data is to be restored.
Type the data set sequence number of the data set from which data is to be restored. DSSN must be 1 for all CA VM:Backup jobs.
The specified tape must be the first tape that is written in any stream of the most recent backup that you want to restore.
Indicate the media and density of the backup tape that you have specified in the Tape Volser field. Select one media from the Media field and one density from the Density field. This information is required so that CA VM:Backup can issue the correct mount request. To determine the proper settings, see "Tape Drives, Media, Density Names, and TMC Values" in the "Managing Tape and DASD Resources" chapter in the System Programmer Reference Guide.
