tcl.:files
Restores entire file system from 'file-save' media.
Syntax
:files {(options}
Description
initiates a full restore as an alternative to reloading from the 'options' prompt.
The proper media type must be indicated with the appropriate 'set-' command prior to using this command.
First, the system goes into single user mode as if 'maxusers (s' was entered. Then, each line is wrapped up as if a 'shutdown' command was entered. All workspace is released and the overflow table is cleared. The user is prompted for reallocation.
Do you wish to disable file reallocation (y/<n>)?:
This question can be bypassed by using either ':files (n' or ':files (r'.
Then, you are prompted to insert the media.
Load reel #1 and press return:
This prompt can be bypassed by using ':files (l'.
Options
l Skip the 'Load reel #1 and press return' message.
n Skip the 'Do you wish to disable file reallocation' message answering 'yes' so that files are NOT resized.
r Skip 'Do you wish to disable file reallocation' message answering 'no' so that files are resized.
z Skip Incremental and Transaction log prompts answering 'n' to each which allows generating indexes to automatically take place.
