The :FILELOAD command restores the entire data area of the disk using any full filesave backup medium.
Format
:FILELOAD [(options)] |
Parameter(s)
options |
The following options are supported: |
|
B |
Ignores item size errors. Binary items requiring more than 255 frames are not restored. |
|
D |
Verifies that the data on the backup medium is the same as the data on the system (to be used with the V option). Note there will be a mismatch with the ACC file. |
|
L |
Logs the restore process in the update logger. If the L option is specified, the update logger must be enabled (see :ULOG-ON/:ULOG-OFF Command), and the file being restored (into SYSTEM if performing an ACCOUNT-RESTORE) must not have logging suppressed (see ULOG-SKIP Command). |
|
N |
Prevents resizing of files. |
|
V |
Verifies data and detects defective D-pointers, invalid item sizes, unrecognizable backup medium segments, and other backup media format errors. Data is discarded after being verified, it is not restored. |
|
X |
Ignores the Restore Updates? prompt when restoring from a full filesave backup medium. Automates the save, verify, and restore procedures. |
|
Y |
Prevents the conversion of CL items, restoring them as linked binary items. |
|
Description
Full filesave backup media are those made with SAVE SYSTEM SYSTEM. :FILELOAD may be used by a running process with SYS3 privileges. All other users must be logged off the system when executing the :FILELOAD command.
Used with no options, :FILELOAD consolidates all available disk space into one single block of frames, and resizes all files that specify a reallocation modulo in Attribute 13 of their File Definition items. It does not set group update flags.
Running the COLD-START Proc
When the full file-restore is complete, the COLD-START Proc is run.
You are prompted to set the time and date if necessary, and the integrity of the system software is verified.
If the N option is used, the data area is restored without any file reallocation. Any reallocation parameters in Attribute 13 of File Definition items are ignored.
If you use a floppy disk that includes the data area, you must position the floppy disk at the start of the data area before you enter :FILELOAD. To do this, load the floppy disk in the drive, type T-ONLINE to position the floppy disk at the beginning, then type fifteen T-FWDs.
NOTE |
Any errors encountered during a restore are logged in the RESTORE-ERRORS account (see RESTORE Command). |
