 For a regular restore, all tracks from the BCV are copied to the standard device. An incremental restore copies only that data on the BCV that has been invalidated since the devices were split to the standard device.

  1. Access the EMC Objects panel, as described in Accessing-the-SSI-monitor.
  2. On the EMC Objects panel, type 5 (Restore) or 6 (IncRestore) in the selection field next to the device for which you want to restore the data and press Enter.
  3. On the EMC TimeFinder device selection subpanel, type S or / in the selection field next to the BCV from which you want to restore and press Enter.
  4. On the SSI action response subpanel, press F12 to return to the EMC TimeFinder Objects panel.
