Latest

Edit online

Use the latest option to restore the most recent backup version of a file, even if the backup is inactive.

You can use the latest option with the following commands:

  • restore
  • restore group

If you are performing a point-in-time restore (using the pitdate option), it is not necessary to specify latest since this option is implicit when pitdate is used.

Supported Clients

This option is valid for all clients. The IBM® Storage Protect API does not support this option.
