6.2 Restoring User Files

To restore your user files, perform either of these processes:

If you ran BULDACCT.PUB.SYS and did NOT use the STORE command DIRECTORY option as part of your backup, proceed to "Restore with BULDACCT files."
If you ONLY did the STORE command with the DIRECTORY option, proceed to "Restore without BULDACCT files."

DO NOT perform both processes.

If you ran BULDACCT.PUB.SYS before your backup, rebuild the account structure and restore the user files from your backup tapes.

To restore user files and rebuild the directory structure:

Restore BULDJOB1 from the backup tape and stream the job.
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE :RESTORE *T;BULDJOB1.PUB.SYS :STREAM BULDJOB1.PUB.SYS
This job rebuilds the entire account structure.

Mount the backup tapes and restore them.

:FILE T;DEV=TAPE
:RESTORE *T;@.@.@;OLDDATE;KEEP;SHOW

If the COMMAND.PUB.SYS now on the system is incorrect, stream BULDJOB2 to rebuild it. First purge the incorrect UDC file.
:PURGE COMMAND.PUB.SYS :STREAM BULDJOB2.PUB.SYS
This job resets all system, account, and user UDCs that were previously on the system.
Purge both BULDJOB1 and BULDJOB2 when they have successfully completed to maintain the security of your system. These files contain passwords for all users, groups, and accounts on the system.
Proceed to the next section on your checklist.

BULDACCT If you did not run the program, restore the backup files and restart the system.

To restore user files and create the directory structure:

Mount the backup tapes and restore them:
