RESTORE

If su￿cient space is not available, RESTORE ￿rst purges the old cop y of the ￿le and then writes a new cop y to the disk. If the RESTORE operation fails in this circumstance, y ou will receive a message on $STDLIST informing y ou that there is no cop y of the ￿le on the disk:

***WARNING OLD FILE HAS BEEN PURGED***

Examples

To restore all ￿les belonging to y our logon group from the restore￿le T, enter:

:FILE T;DEV=TAPE :RESTORE *T;@;KEEP;SHOW

In response, the system operator receiv es a request to moun t the tape identi￿ed as T. If a ￿le on T already exists in the system, it will not be restored because the KEEP parameter was speci￿ed.
