If your daily SFS backups were created by the FILEPOOL BACKUP command you could use FILEPOOL FILELOAD to restore individual files.
If the daily SFS backup was created by FILEPOOL UNLOAD, you can use FILEPOOL RELOAD to restore individual files. From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Phillip Parmelee Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2008 8:21 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: SFS Restore? I've never worked with SFS before. The SFS was designed and put into 24x7 production use circa 1996. There are few trails to follow. Presently there is a daily backup of the system plus weekly DDR's of the volumes. Due to production I cannot shutdown for much more time than the backup takes. I need to restore or somehow obtain a program (deleted by a programmer), and only that file. The manuals I have found are not too clear regarding recovery/restore of SFS. Can one file be easily obtained from a backup?
