You can use the following options when you restore an IBM i File System Agent backup to a new computer, new directory.
Option |
Parameter |
---|---|
Restore the private authority with the object |
On the General tab, select the Restore Private authority (PVTAUT) check box. |
Restore the spool files. |
On the General tab, select the Restore Spooled file data (SPLFDTA) check box. |
Allow object differences |
On the General tab, select the Allow object differences (ALLOWOBJDIF) check box and one of the following options: None There can be no difference between the saved data and the restored data. *ALL Allow all differences between the saved data and the restored data. Note This option does not guarantee compatibility with the existing databases, so you may need to correct the database after the restore. *COMPATIBILE Allow differences that are compatible with the existing databases. Note This option is available only when the operating system is version V7Rx or later. Best Practice: Use this option instead of *ALL because it guarantees compatibility with the existing databases. Other Allow a combination of the following parameter differences: *AUTL Allow authorization list differences. *FILELVL Allow file level ID and member level ID differences. *OWNER Allow file ownership differences. *PGP Allow primary group differences. |
Convert the user objects to the format that the current operating system version requires or to be compatible with the current machine. |
On the General tab, from the Force Object Conversion list, select one of the options.

Restore the deleted items |
On the Browse Options tab:
|
Exclude files and directories from the restore |
On the Paths/Filters Options tab, in the Filter Item section, perform the following operations:
|
Add a suffix to each file that you restore |
On the Maps tab, select the Rename all restore files with suffix check box. Note This option is only supported for IBM i IFS. It is not supported with IBM i LFS. On Windows, the suffix is added before the file type extension. On UNIX and Mac, the suffix is added after the file type extension. |
If you selected the "Library/Libraries" option, and you want to defer the restore of objects that depend on objects that are not yet available. |
Specify the identifier. On the General tab, in the Defer ID (DFRID) box, type the identifier to use. To complete a restore of the deferred objects, first restore the objects that they depend on, and specify the same Defer ID value. If any objects remain deferred when the other objects are available, use the Restore Deferred Objects (RSTDFROBJ) command, and specify the same Defer ID value. Use this parameter to restore all objects in a set of libraries when you restore the libraries with dependent objects before the libraries with the objects they depend on. Deferred objects can be logical files, or SQL materialized query tables (MQTs). A deferred logical file is not created until the restore completes. A deferred MQT is created, but until the restore completes, any functions that are performed on the MQT and that require access to the based-on files fail. Note If either of the following conditions are true, then the restore of a deferred object may be automatically completed when you restore the objects that it depends on.

Restore to a different auxiliary storage pool (ASP) |
On the General tab:
|
Generate the job log output of the restored library file system objects. |
On the LOG Output tab, select whether the software creates a list that contains the information about the saved objects. You can print the information with the job's spooled output, or direct the information to a database file. If you select the option to direct the information to a database file, you can specify:
|
If you selected to restore a security object, select the authority information to restore |
On the General tab, from the Security data (SECDTA) list, select the authority information to restore.
