Finding files and listing files in a save set
If you want to determine the contents of a save set without restoring
the save set, use the List operation as follows:
1. Choose "List Save Set Contents ..." from the File menu,
2. Fill in the field values on the List Save Set Contents screen. To
have the files displayed on the screen, do not specify a listing
file name. When you specify a listing file name, the output is
sent to the file and not the screen. The following example
displays the files on the screen:
Input
Save Set Device Name: MUA0:
Save Set File Name : WEEKLY.BCK
Output
Listing File Name :
You do not need to know the names of save sets on tape to list their
contents. BACKUP Manager reads the next save set it finds on the
magnetic tape and stops processing when it reaches the end of that
save set. However, BACKUP Manager does not automatically rewind to
the beginning-of-tape marker unless you choose the "Rewind Tape
Before Operation" option from the Options menu. Therefore, you can
list the next save set (if one exists) by repeating the list
operation. If no more save sets exist on the tape, BACKUP Manager
displays a message to that effect.
