If the restore process stops because of a power outage or network failure, the server records the point at which this occurred.
This record is known to the client as a restartable restore. It is possible to have more than one restartable restore session. Use the query restore command or choose restartable restores from the Actions menu to find out if your client has any restartable restore sessions in the server database.
You must complete a restartable restore
before attempting further backups of the file system. If you attempt
to repeat the restore that was interrupted or try to back up the destination
file space, the attempt fails because you did not complete the original
restore. You can restart the restore at the point of interruption
by entering the restart restore command, or you
can delete the restartable restore using the cancel restore command.
If you restart the interrupted restore, it restarts with the first
transaction, which might consist of one or more files, not completely
restored when the interruption occurred. Because of this, you might
receive some replace prompts for files from the interrupted transaction
which were already restored.

From the Tivoli® Storage Manager GUI Restartable restores dialog box you can select the interrupted restore and delete it, or you can choose to restart the restore. If you restart the interrupted restore, it restarts with the first transaction, which might consist of one or more files, not completely restored when the interruption occurred. Because of this, you might receive some replace prompts for files from the interrupted transaction which were already restored.
To perform restartable
restores using the GUI, follow these steps:
- Select Actions –> Restartable restores from the main panel.
- Select the restartable restore session you want to complete.
- Click the Restart button at the bottom of the panel.
