Restoring With the Original Backup Utility

Sites that are moving from one backup utility to another (for example, from FDR to DF/HSM) may end up having CDAM or Index files that are backed up by different backup utilities. Each of the backed up CDAM or Index files must be restored using the original backup utility.

To restore the CDAM or Index file with the appropriate backup utility, the restore mission name must point to a skeleton member of the original backup utility. Parameter BKPUTIL in the skeleton member must be set to the original backup utility name.

This statement must be in the skeleton member to use the FDR backup utility regardless of the value specified for BKPUTIL in member CTDPARM in the IOA PARM library.

The BKPUTIL value in the backup skeleton overrides the value of installation parameter BKPUTIL in member CTDPARM in the IOA PARM library.
