RESUME JOB (Resume a job for copying a retention set to tape)

Use this command to resume a job that copies a retention set to tape.

If an error occurs, you can interrupt the job so that you can resolve the issue. To resume the job, you can issue the RESUME JOB command. When the job is resumed, the job status is changed from INTERRUPTED to SLEEPING. When the associated storage rule starts to copy the retention set to tape, the job status is changed to RUNNING.

Tip: To view all copy-to-tape jobs that are in the INTERRUPTED state, you can issue the QUERY JOB command and specify STATUS=INTERRUPTED.

Restriction: You cannot issue the RESUME JOB command for storage rule jobs.

Privilege class

Any administrator can issue this command.
