Restoring Raw Data from Tape 16 Jan 2002 Raw data is stored on tape in backup save sets named ddmmm_ddmmmyy.bck, indicating the date range being stored. (dd is the one or two digit day of the month, mmm is the month abbreviation, and yy is the last two digits of the year.) Each DAT tape has a directory listing giving the save set names stored and the scan number range. One can see the directory listing by TYPE DAT:nnDATA_DIR on either Frankenheim or Kronen, where nn is the tape number. Raw data files are named nnnnT.RAW, where nnnn is the four digit scan number. (It has leading zeros when the scan number is <1000). To restore raw data files, use a BACKUP command of the form: BACKUP/LOG/IGNORE=LABEL KRONEN$MUA0: - /SELECT=(nn*T.RAW,mm*T) where is the name found in the DAT:nnDATA_DIR file (you can omit the ";1" on the end of the name), "nn*T.RAW,mm*T" specifies what scans you want, and is where the files should be stored. In this example, nn* and mm* stand for wildcarded file names. One need not use a wildcard "*" at all if you don't mind listing each file name. (The /SELECT option will accept a comma separated list of as many specifications as needed.) The command can be executed on Kronen or Frankenheim, but the most efficient (but more Kronen intensive) would be to choose Kronen and a directory on KRAW. If more than one save set is needed, do another BACKUP command. (These should be done in the order the save sets are stored on the tape to avoid needing the /REWIND option.) When done with a given tape, do a DISMOUNT KRONEN$MUA0 command to eject the tape and release the tape drive to other users. Do not use KDISK or FDISK for the destination directory, as this could fill these system disks and crash Kronan or Frankenheim. Example: Restore raw data 7805 to 8015 to KRAW:[SMT.OLD_RAW].

(2190 MBytes) BACKUP/LOG/IGNORE=LABEL KRONEN$MUA0:14DEC_17DEC01.BCK - /SELECT=(78*T.RAW,79*T) KRAW:[SMT.OLD_RAW] BACKUP/LOG/IGNORE=LABEL KRONEN$MUA0:17DEC_17DEC01.BCK - /SELECT=(79*T.RAW,800*T,801*T) KRAW:[SMT.OLD_RAW] This will actually restore 7800-8019. One could then delete the unwanted files. Or to get precisely the files 7805-8015, one could use /SELECT=(7805T.RAW,7806T,7807T,7808T,7809T,781*T,782*T,783*T,- 784*T,785*T,786*T,787*T,788*T,789*T,79*T) for the first BACKUP, and /SELECT=(79*T.RAW,800*T,8010T,8011T,8012T,8013T,8014T,8015T) on the second one.
