Recovery of Individual integrated file system Objects

In Tailoring Your Backup, you learned how to save your integrated file system data in a control group by using a link list. The word link in the link list in this case refers to the connection between integrated file system directories. You can use the STRRCYBRM command to restore an individual link list, rather than the entire control group that contains the link list. To do so, take the following steps:

1. At the STRRCYBRM display, type *LNKLIST in the Option field.

                         Start Recovery using BRM (STRRCYBRM)                      
                                                                                   
    Type choices, press Enter.

   The *LNKLIST special value restores all of the integrated file system objects that BRMS saved in the list between the start and end times you specify on this display.

2. Change the other parameters as needed.
3. Override recovery policy parameters if needed by pressing F9, which takes you to the Restore Command Defaults display. Or press Enter to process the recovery.
4. Check the job log to make sure that the job completed successfully.
