Parameters
- Prompt
- You are prompted whether to overwrite a file that already exists on your
workstation. If the existing file is read-only, you are prompted
whether to overwrite it. This is the default.
- All
- All existing files are overwritten, including read-only
files. On Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Windows.Net workstations,
all locked files are replaced when the system is rebooted. If access to
a file is denied, you are prompted to skip or overwrite the file. No
action is taken on the file until there is a response to the
prompt.
- Yes
- Any existing files are overwritten, except read-only
files. If a file is read-only, you are prompted to overwrite the file
or skip it. No action is taken on the file until there is a response to
the prompt. If access to a file is denied, the file is skipped.
- No
- Existing files are not overwritten. No prompts will display.
- Note:
- On Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Windows.Net workstations, you can choose
to replace locked files when the system is rebooted. Tivoli Storage
Manager cannot perform an in-place restore of active files. However, it
will stage restored versions of active files for replacement during the next
reboot, except files containing named streams, sparse files, and
directories. You can only restore these files if they are
unlocked.
Examples
- Options file:
- replace all
- Command line:
- -replace=no
