I think you mean the Restore Volume and Restore Stgpool commands.
They are simple to use and work fine - providing that a Backup
Stgpool had secured a copy of the file(s) in question, and that the
copypool tape is available at restoral time. You can verify if all
of a primary tape's data got copied via the 'Query CONTent ...
COPied=No' command. Copying would fail if the original primary pool
tape had a defect where the backup file had been written. You may
want to perform 'Query Volume ... Format=Detailed' on a sampling of
some tapes to see if read/write errors are accumulating on your tapes
- which is to say that this may not be the only tape with problems.
All in a day's administration.
If you do have to perform a Restore Volume, do a Move Data first, to
greatly reduce the overall amount of time (mounts).
