All of the data set in this form only relates to generating a batch job to print out a report. This data does not affect the MEDIA database.

For the description of the data to be entered into this form, see the following table.

Data	Description
Form name	This is the name of the form to be used in printing the report.
Printer queue name	This defines what print queue the report generation job is to be placed in for execution. This can be either a generic or node specific execution queue. The default, if none has been defined either implicitly or explicitly, is SYS$PRINT.
Job name in queue	This defines the job name that is to be assigned this report generation job when it is in the print execution queue. This name will only appear when you use the VMS command SHOW ENTRY or SHOW QUEUE. By default, this name is the same as the report name.
Print after	This is the time when the job, pending in the print queue, will be executed.

First page note	This is the note that will be printed on the banner page.
Queue priority	This specifies what queue priority to assign this job when it is inserted into the print queue for execution. A non-privileged user is limited to a maximum value that is controlled by the AUTHORIZE program and/or the SYSGEN parameter MAXQUEPRI. The priority is NOT the execution priority but strictly the priority used to order jobs in the batch execution queue while they are waiting to start.
Number of copies	This is the number of reports to be printed.
Action flags	The following flags are set to perform the specified actions: Hold job in queue - Place the job in the PENDING state on entering into the print queue.

This chapter familiarizes the user with the three types of restore that can be performed in the MCL Work Center. Using VAULT the user can restore off-line files by simply selecting the desired file and then choosing the restore command from the menu.

VAULT, Restore via search and Restore entire disk makes the restoring of lost or deleted files easier by allowing restoration from remote nodes and even remote PC's. The process is further simplified by the ease of use of the MOTIF Work Center .

Figure 9-1 Restore functions

Restore an entire disk

The Restore entire disk program can be used to restore a disk because of errors, disk crash, relocation or any other reason. The latest full disk backup and latest incremental backups are combined to restore the disk to it's most recent state.

VAULT Restore

VAULT maintains a directory structured database that lists information about files that have been backed up. The main objective is to facilitate identifying what has been backed up and simplify the selective file restore process.

The VAULT interface is made up of the File selection fields, the file list and controls for customizing and displaying the the file list.

The VAULT database contains an entry for every file. This entry gives the file storage location, when backed up and other attributes. Each backup can be individually set to add or not to add information to the database.

Restore via search

The Restore via search facility allows the OPERATOR to create a detailed search criteria to locate needed files. By selecting such specific criteria as files names, saveset names and backup job, it is possible to locate files on any volume.

9.1 Restore an entire disk using MCL

A special feature of MEDIA is the ability to perform a complete disk recovery. Though several events may create the need for such a drastic procedure, the most common is a disk crash which results in a complete loss of data. Keep in mind that a full disk recovery is meant purely as an emergency procedure and will restore data only as current as your most recent incremental backup.

In order to restore an entire disk, choose Restore entire disk from the Media Librarian menu.

9.1.1 Select drive and print controls

In order to designate the drive (volume) to be recovered, the date to restore up to and the printer controls for the restore report, choose Select drive and print controls from the Full disk recovery menu. The form shown below will appear.

For a description of all fields displayed in the form, see table below.

Data	Description
Source volume label	The volume label of the source drive to be recovered.
Restore up to date	The date up to which the restoration will take place. Any files backed up after this date will not be restored.
Printer queue name	Name of the printer queue to send the report of the restore.
Form name	Uses a form name from the system's library to print the report of the restore.
Compact display	Designates whether the report will print in compact or regular mode.

9.1.2 Display volume requirements

In order to display volume requirements, choose Display volume requirements from the Full disk recovery menu. A flashing box should appear with the message "Working" displayed. After this box, a listing of all backups that will be used for the full restoration will appear, as shown below.

In order to print volume requirements, choose Print volume requirements from the Full disk recovery menu. This option will print the information that was described in the previous section on displaying the volume requirements. The queue and form name controls can be set in the "Select drive and print controls" form.

9.1.4 Create restore job

In order to create a restore job, choose Create restore job from the Full disk recovery menu. The form shown below will appear.

The form features two fields, Target device and Submit immediately. The target device is the desired device to be used for the restoration. In other words, this is where the backups will be restored to. The other field, Submit immediately is a positive or negative response field that determines whether the restore will take place immediately or later. The information is stored in a file and may be submitted at any time after it is created.

9.2 VAULT Restore

The VAULT interface displays the current VAULT directory in a status window. See Figure 9-2.

Figure 9-2 VAULT directory window

This lets the user know what directory he is working in at all times. The VAULT display also brings up a menu of the VAULT functions that can be performed in MCL. See Figure 9-3.

Figure 9-3 VAULT menu

The usual steps for restoring files using MCL are as follows.

1. Use the selection controls to limit the listing of directories and/or files that are displayed when selecting directories and files. Use this option only if necessary.
2. Select the directory to choose the desired files from.
3. Select the file that is to be restored.
4. View the file attributes. Determine which version of the file you want to restore based on dates and availability of backup tape(s).
5. Select the restore menu option.

In order to use VAULT in MCL, select Vaulted functions from the Media Librarian menu. The VAULT directory window and VAULT menu will appear. See Figure 9-4.
