Though you should not try to restore your system without a recovery report to guide you, circumstances may arise that necessitate doing so. This section provides information that can assist you in performing a recovery without the reports. It also tells you how you might be able to generate a report in the event of disaster if you do not have one available. If you cannot locate a recovery report, i5/OS™ commands can help initiate the recovery process. You can use either BRMS or i5/OS commands to perform the restore.
