Restoring all libraries from a single save operation

Use these steps to restore all libraries that were saved with a single command or menu option.

1. Sign on with a user profile that has *SAVSYS special authority.
   Using *SAVSYS special authority ensures that you will not have authority problems during the restore procedure and improves restore performance.
2. Ensure that the system is in a restricted state.
3. Find your most recent save media.
4. Use Task 4: Restoring libraries to a basic auxiliary storage pool.
   Type your choice and press F4 (Prompt).
