PS - when you create SLTs (we do them weekly here), you can also include,
any other files you want on there in STORE format, so that, should one of
your system discs crash, the same tape will restore any files in the STORE
part of the SLT when you reinstall from it.

This is all off the top of my head -- feel free to correct me; we use EMC
fortunately and rarely have to go through this sort of process on any of
our systems.

Install from a 'typical' CSLT does not restore any data, working files or
applications.

Therefore normally, you would also have to restore any missing files from a
backup using the KEEP* and (DIRECTORY + CREATE)** options.

(* So you don't overwrite your Install files.)

(** So you get your directory structure back, although it would have been
better if you had BULDJOB1 and BULDJOB2 files restored and executed first.)

Files on other Volume_Sets should still be there and not require restoring.
You would only need files that were on the MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET.  (For
small machines, this may be the only set they have.)

If your CSLT install did not include other Volume_Sets in it's config, (it
was an old CSLT?) you would have to re-add other Volume_Sets manually.
