417.0. "Question about BACKUP" by CHOWDA::GLICKMAN (writing from Newport,RI) Thu Apr 03 1997 18:38

    I need some help with BACKUP.
    
    Anyway to restore from a BACKUP/IMAGE 3 directories only into 3
    separate directories or subdirectories with one BACKUP command (not
    3 separate ones with /REWIND as we are doing).
    
    This site has a special project to restore 3 users TeamLinks mail
    directories from all the backups they have (52 weeks).  The operators
    are busy currently doing each user from the save set with a /rewind
    between.
    
    I was wondering if there was any backup command where we could do
    something like this to speed things up:
    
    BACKUP/SELECT=([USER1.A1MAIL$],[USER2.A1MAIL$,USER3.A1MAIL$] -
    MUA100:22MAR97.BCK SEARCH$DISK:[22MAR97...]  (I tried this and it
    didn't work).
    
    and have the directory structure like this:
    
    	[22MAR97.USER1.A1MAIL$]
    	[22MAR97.USER2.A1MAIL$]
    	[22MAR97.USER3.A1MAIL$]
    
    Is there anyway to do this?  Or do the operators have to do each user
    separately?
    
    Appreciating any responses.

    I won't ask why they want to do this. Don't they do IMAGE backups?!

    You need
    
    $ DEFINE/TRANS=CONC FOO SEARCH$DISK:[22MAR97.]
    $ BACKUP/SELECT=([USERx.A1MAIL$],etc.) saveset FOO:[*...]
