Capture and Restore

The information that is stored on the online disk files represents a considerable investment by the user. The integrity of this data is vital to system operation.

The capture and restore utility serves as the vehicle for system fallback. It allows you to capture to tape all of the system variable online data. If a serious hardware, software, or operator-induced failure occurs, you can restore all or selected parts of the online data files to their state at a predetermined point in time.

Note:
With TPF transaction services processing, the capture and restore utility will bring the TPF database back to a consistent commit state when possible.
