Restoring an image using the command line

Use the restore image command to restore an image using the IBM® Storage Protect command line client.

You can use the verifyimage option with the restore image command to specify that you want to enable detection of bad sectors on the destination target volume. If bad sectors are detected on the target volume, IBM Storage Protect issues a warning message on the console and in the error log.

If bad sectors are present on the target volume, you can use the imagetofile option with the restore image command to specify that you want to restore the source image to a file. Later, you can use a data copy utility of your choice to transfer the image from the file to a disk volume.
