Recovering a group of data sets from an aggregate backup

To recover a group of data sets from an aggregate backup version, do the following:

  1. Create a data set to use as the list of data sets to be recovered during ARECOVER processing. The data set must be a sequential data set, fixed-block, with a record size of 80, and be cataloged.
  2. Edit the data set with the names of data sets to be recovered during ARECOVER processing. Specify one fully qualified data set name per record.
  3. Enter the ARECOVER command with the ONLYDATASET parameter specified with the LISTOFNAMES subparameter: 
    ARECOVER ONLYDS(LON(MY.DATASET.LIST))

    In this example, MY.DATASET.LIST is the fully qualified name of the data set that contains a list of data sets to be recovered from the backup copy of an aggregate group.
