Further to last ...
BTW, I notice Cathlene's suggested reload differed in some ways from
my earlier one ....
Specifically, hers omitted the ;CREATE and ;PARTDB options from the
restore command.
Doing so will certainly get the job done - but perhaps not to your
satisfaction.
If any file that exists on your backup was created by a user that no
longer exists, that file (or files) will NOT be restored.
Similarly, if you omit the ;PARTDB option, any file that comprises a
TurboIMAGE database whose corresponding root file does not exist,
will also not be restored.
I suppose it may be a matter of personal preference, but I would
rather have ALL files that existed on my disks prior to disk crash
also exist after the post disk-crash RELOAD.
I could then easily choose to re-delete the users that created those
files - as well as the files themselves.
Another reason why the ;SHOW=OFFLINE option is suggested so that one
can quickly see the users that were re-created as the result of the
;CREATE option.
Purging the "orphan" datasets would be slightly more difficult, since
they don't so easily stand out on the stdlist.
Finally, it's critical that a second START NORECOVERY be performed.
Otherwise, you cannot successfully start up your network.
