Restoring or retrieving data

Edit online

After a query is made and a session is established with the IBM® Storage Protect server, you can run a procedure to restore or retrieve data.

Procedure

To restore or retrieve data, complete the following steps:

  1. Query the IBM Storage Protect server for either backup or archive data.
  2. Determine the objects to restore or retrieve from the server.
  3. Sort the objects on the Restore Order field.
  4. Send the dsmBeginGetData call with the list of objects that you want to access.
  5. Send the dsmGetObj call to obtain each object from the system. Multiple dsmGetData calls might be needed for each object to obtain all associated object data. Send the dsmEndGetObj call after all data for an object is obtained.
  6. Send the dsmEndGetData call after all data for all objects is received, or to end the receive operation.
