The FRRECOV command can be used to recover a copy pool or individual volumes and data sets from the managed copy pool copies. The backup copy to be recovered can reside on either DASD or tape. If the backup copy resides on both DASD and tape, the default is to use the DASD backup copy.
To restrict the recovery to only backup copy versions residing on DASD or tape, use the FROMDASD or FROMDUMP options, respectively. If the backup copy version is not found on either DASD or tape, the recovery request will fail.
When DATE, GENERATION, TOKEN, or VERSION is specified, the corresponding backup copy will be recovered. If no specific backup copy is specified, an attempt to recover generation zero will occur. If no valid backup copy (either the indicated or implicit) is found, on DASD or tape, the recovery request will fail.
A specific dump class to recover the version from can be specified when recovering from a dump copy on tape. When recovery is performed at the copy pool level, and the dump copy to recover is a partial dump, the recovery request will fail unless the PARTIALOK option is specified.
