Products

• Disk Backup and Restore - MVS

Issue/Introduction

2 volumes are backed up by VBACKUP. 

When one of them is restored via VRECOVER command the following message is displayed  :

ADSDM362 0077 (MNT240) WAS NOT RESTORED: NO INDEX RECORD  

and the volume is not restored.

 

Environment

Release : 14.0

Resolution

When the VRECOVER command is used in R14.0, the FMS proc should be used instead of RECOVER.

The volume-level backup function—VRECOVER—overlays the entire volume in extent track order, or a specified range of absolute tracks on the volume.

Volume-level backup is invoked from FMS processing through the VRECOVER command.

VRECOVER uses the volume-level backup data set identified in the DSNINDEX as DMSOS.Vvolser. Disk  generates this name automatically.

A volume-level recovery must use a target volume that is the same device type from which the volume-level backup is taken. You can VRECOVER to the same device type, as long as the capacity is the same or higher as the original device type. In such cases, the VTOC is updated to invoke system routines to recalculate the free space.
