A file specification for the backup file produced by a previous RMU Backup command. Note that you cannot perform a remote restore operation on an .rbf file that has been backed up to tape and then copied to disk. The default file extension is .rbf. Depending on whether you are performing a restore operation from magnetic tape, disk, or multiple disks, the backup file specification should be specified as follows: o To restore from magnetic tape: If you used multiple tape drives to create the backup file, the backup-file-spec parameter must be provided with (and only with) the first tape drive name. Additional tape drive names must be separated from the first and subsequent tape drive names with commas, as shown in the following example: $ RMU/RESTORE /REWIND $111$MUA0:PERS_FULL_NOV30.RBF,$112$MUA1: o To restore from single or multiple disk files: If you used multiple disk files to create the backup file, the backup-file-spec parameter must be provided with (and only with) the first disk device name. Additional disk device names must be separated from the first and subsequent disk device names with commas. You must also be sure to include the Disk_ File qualifier. For example: $ RMU/RESTORE/DISK_FILE DISK1:[DIR1]MFP.RBF,DISK2:[DIR2],DISK3:[DIR3] As an alternative to listing the disk device names on the command line (which, if you use several devices, can exceed the line-limit length for a command line), you can specify an options file in place of the backup-file-spec. For example: $ RMU/RESTORE/DISK_FILE "@DEVICES.OPT" The contents of devices.opt might appear as follows: DISK1:[DIR1]MFP.RBF DISK2:[DIR2] DISK3:[DIR3] The backup files referenced from such an options file are: DISK1:[DIR1]MFP.RBF DISK2:[DIR2]MFP01.RBF DISK3:[DIR3]MFP02.RBF
