Format=Old_File Format=New_Tape Specifies whether the backed up or optimized .aij file was written in the old (disk-optimized) or the new (tape-optimized) format. The Format=Old_File qualifier is the default. You must specify the same Format qualifier that was used with the RMU Backup After_Journal command or the RMU Optimize After_Journal command. If your .aij file resides on disk, you should use the Format=Old_File qualifier. If you specified the Format=Old_File qualifier when you optimized or backed up the .aij file to tape, you must mount the backup media by using the DCL MOUNT command before you issue the RMU Recover command. Because the RMU Recover command will use RMS to read the tape, the tape must be mounted as an OpenVMS volume (that is, do not specify the /FOREIGN qualifier with the MOUNT command). If you specify the Format=New_Tape qualifier, you must mount the backup media by using the DCL MOUNT /FOREIGN command before you issue the RMU Recover command. Similarly, if you specify OpenVMS access (you do not specify the /FOREIGN qualifier on the DCL MOUNT command) although your .aij backup was created using the Format=New_Tape qualifier, you will receive an RMU-F-MOUNTFOR error. The following tape qualifiers have meaning only when used in conjunction with the Format=New_Tape qualifier: Active_IO Label Rewind
