Restoring libraries that you saved by using a backup list

Use this procedure to restore libraries that you saved using a backup list, either for daily or weekly backup. It assumes that you save all libraries for your monthly backup.

Use this procedure if all of the following conditions are true:

You have an Operational Assistant backup that is more recent than the last time you saved the entire system or all libraries.
You specified 1 (Selected from list) for the User libraries option for your Operational Assistant backup.
You specified N (No) for the Save changed objects only option for your Operational Assistant backup.

If you have both a weekly and a daily backup that meet these conditions, perform the following tasks:

If your daily backup and weekly backup both save exactly the same libraries from the backup list, perform steps 2 through 4 once, using your most recent set of tapes (daily or weekly).
If your daily backup saves fewer libraries than your weekly backup, perform the following tasks:
- If your most recent backup is a weekly backup, perform steps 2 through 4 once, using your most recent set of weekly tapes.
- If your most recent backup is a daily backup, perform steps 2 through 4 once, using your most recent set of weekly tapes. Repeat step 2 through 4, using your most recent set of daily tapes.

Mount the first tape.
Find the printed copy of the backup list associated with the save tapes. If you have the list, skip to step 4
If you do not have the list, display the contents of the save tapes by typing: DSPTAP DEV(media-device-name) OUTPUT(*PRINT) DATA(*SAVRST).
Use the listing from step 2 or step 3. For each library that was saved, follow these steps:
1. Type: RSTLIB SAVLIB(library-name) DEV(media-device-name).
2. Check off the library name on the list.
Note: Restore the user libraries to each user auxiliary storage pool (ASP) that you are recovering. If you are restoring the QGPL library and the QUSRSYS library and doing partial recovery, restore these libraries before any other libraries.
