Performing selected recoveries

This topic provides information about how to selectively restore single objects or groups of objects.

With BRMS, you can selectively restore system information, libraries, control groups, integrated file system objects, and other items. In case of disaster, a selective restore strategy allows you to recover critically needed applications and information prior to restoring the rest of your system.

There are several ways you can selectively recover items by using BRMS. The primary recovery command is the Start Recovery using BRM (STRRCYBRM) command. You can use other commands to facilitate the recovery of user profiles, objects, folders, and spooled files.

Many of the functions described in this topic are available in the BRMS graphical interface. For detailed information, see Using the BRMS graphical interface.
