Specifying a resumed restore

About resuming a restore

If an entire tape file restore is stopped, you can resume the restore and avoid restoring again what has already been restored.

Resuming a restore has the following restrictions:

You can resume only restores that you started with the r or R options.
You can resume a restore command only if the backup consists of multiple tape files.
You can resume a restore command only if the command is for a full restore. If the restore command is for extracting an individual file or subtree from a backup (that is, if you use the x option), or for a table-of-contents restore, you cannot resume the restore.
You can resume a restore only if you received a message similar to the following during the restore:

RESTORE: Fri Aug 31 22:22:35 2001: Writing data to files.

To resume a restore, complete the following steps.

Step	Action
1	In the `restore` command line, use the `R` option instead of the `r` option as the first option. It does not take an argument.
2	Enter the rest of the same `restore` command that was interrupted, but include only the tape files that were not restored.
3	Follow the prompts.

The following command resumes a restore.
