Pittime
Use the pittime option with the pitdate option to establish a point in time to display or restore the latest version of your backups.
Files that were backed up on or before the date and time you specify, and which were not deleted before the date and time you specify, are processed. Backup versions that you create after this date and time are ignored. This option is ignored if you do not specify pitdate option.
Use the pittime option with the following commands:
- delete backup
query asr- query backup
query image- query nas
- query systemstate
- query vm(vmbackuptype=fullvm and
vmbackuptype=hypervfull)
- restore
- restore image
restore nas- restore vm (vmbackuptype=fullvm and
vmbackuptype=hypervfull)
Supported Clients
This option is valid for all clients. The IBM Spectrum Protect API does not support this option.
