Restoring changed objects that you saved by using Operational Assistant

If you save only changed objects for either your weekly or daily backup, use this procedure.

If you save changed objects both weekly and daily, use your most recent set of tapes. If you save complete libraries on your weekly backup and changes on your daily backup, perform this procedure only if your daily backup is more recent than your weekly backup.

  1. Mount the first tape from your most recent backup of changed objects.
  2. Determine if any objects are on the tape for libraries that do not exist on the system:
    1. Print a list of libraries on the system by typing: DSPBCKUPL OUTPUT(*PRINT).
    2. Print the contents of the tape by typing: DSPTAP DEV(media-device-name) OUTPUT(*PRINT) DATA(*SAVRST).
    3. Compare the two lists. Mark any libraries on the DSPTAP listing (from step 2b) that do not appear on the DSPBCKUPL listing (from step 2a).
    4. For any libraries you marked in step 2c, type the following command: CRTLIB LIB(library-name).
  3. Restore the changed objects from the tapes.
    For each library that appears on the DSPTAP listing (from step 2b), type the following command: 
    RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB(library-name)
       OBJTYPE(*ALL) DEV(media-device-name)
