IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX and Linux Backup-Archive ...

4. The client tells the server to restore file data and directory objects.5. The directories and files you want to restore are sent from the server to theclient.No query restore processThe no query restore process is outlined below.1. The client tells the server that a no query restore is going to be performed andprovides the server with details about file spaces, directories, and files.2. The server sorts the data using an internal sort table which minimizes tapemounts.3. The data to be restored is sent to the client. File and directory objects stored ondisk are sent immediately since sorting for such data is not required beforerestoring it.4. You can use multiple sessions to restore the data. If the data resides on multipletapes, there are multiple mount points available at the server. The combinationof using the resourceutilization option and MAXNUMMP allows multiplesessions.When you enter an unrestricted wildcard source file specification on the restorecommand and do not specify any of the options: inactive, latest, pick, fromdate, ortodate, the client uses a no query restore method for restoring files and directoriesfrom the server. This method is called no query restore because instead of queryingthe server for each object to be restored, a single restore request is sent to theserver. In this case, the server returns the files and directories to the client withoutfurther action by the client. The client merely accepts the data coming from theserver and restores it to the destination named on the restore command.Using the Tivoli Storage Manager GUI client, an example of an unrestrictedwildcard command would be to select a folder from the restore tree window. Anexample of a restricted wildcard command would be to select individual files froma folder.Using the command-line client, an example of an unrestricted wildcard commandwould be:"/Users/user1/Documents/2004/*"/home/mydocs/2004/*An example of a restricted wildcard file specification would be:/Users/user1/Documents/2004/sales.*/home/mydocs/2004/sales.*Related reference“Resourceutilization” on page 379Use the resourceutilization option in your option file to regulate the level ofresources the Tivoli Storage Manager server and client can use during processing.Restartable restore processIf the restore process stops because of a power outage or network failure, theserver records the point at which this occurred. This record is known to the clientas a restartable restore. It is possible to have more than one restartable restoresession. Use the query restore command or choose restartable restores from theActions menu to find out if your client has any restartable restore sessions in theserver database.190 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for UNIX and Linux Backup-Archive Clients Version 6.1: Installation and User’s Guide
