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:
