RESTORE

KEEP

If a ￿le on the RESTORE tape has the same name as a ￿le

 

already residing on the disk, KEEP instructs the system to

 

preserve the ￿le on the disk and to skip o ver the ￿le on the

 

RESTORE tape. The ￿le on tape is not restored and the ￿le on

 

the disk remains as it w as.

 

Default: If you do not specify KEEP, then the ￿le on the

 

RESTORE tape replaces the iden tically named ￿le on the disk.

 

The only exception is if the ￿le on the disk is being accessed

 

when RESTORE attempts to replace it. In that case, RESTORE

 

preserves the ￿le on the disk (as if y ou had speci￿ed KEEP) and

 

skips over the ￿le on the tape.

NOKEEP

Instructs the system to restore ev ery ￿le on the tape, ev en if it

 

has the same name as a ￿le already residing on the disk.

NEWDATE or

MPE/iX stores four dates in eac h ￿le's ￿le label the creation

OLDDATE

date, modi￿cation date, last access date, and the allocation

 

date. The allocation time is also stored in the label. NEWDATE

 

changes all dates and times to the date and time that RESTORE

 

was executed. OLDDATE retains the original modi￿cation and

 

last access dates, but c hanges the creation and allocation dates

 

to the date of the RESTORE procedure. Default is NEWDATE .

ONERROR

Tells RESTORE what to do if there is a tape read error. If y ou

 

omit this parameter, then the default option is QUIT for labeled

 

and unlabled tapes. ONERR is a synonym for ONERROR .

 

QUIT

Tells RESTORE to abort after a tape read

past a tape error, resync hronize, and resume

 

 

reading from the tape.
