ACCOUNT-RESTORE

Restore accounts and files from a framed tape image.

SYNTAXACCOUNT-RESTORE [tape-file] [TO account] [DRY-RUN]ACCOUNT-RESTORE R83-360|R83-720|R83-1440 disk1 [disk2 ...] [TO account] [DRY-RUN]

ACCOUNT-RESTORE imports one account from a recognized labelled 500-byte save. It reads the configured pseudo0 tape by default or an explicit, optionally quoted path. TO account selects the destination; without TO the saved account name is used, not the current LOGTO account. The command reads the complete image and checks framing, end markers, metadata and item links before applying a restore plan. DRY-RUN reports source, destination, files and statistics without creating accounts or writing items. The original session account is retained. Validation failures write nothing; a storage failure during application can leave partial changes.

  • This is an administrative restore operation that can replace stored data.
  • Quoted paths and dry-run spellings follow the same rules as FILE-LOAD.
  • R83-360, R83-720 and R83-1440 accept ordered disk image paths using explicit 360 KB, 720 KB or 1.44 MB geometry. Unused bytes after the final EOF pair and outside the selected geometry are ignored. Quote each path containing spaces. Connected terminals prompt for missing continuation image paths; a blank reply cancels without writes. Noninteractive callers must supply all disks. Wrong or missing prompted files fail the restore without writes. The verified R83 direct-record subset is supported; linked records and other layouts are rejected with a record number, type byte and header bytes for diagnosis. Empty direct items are supported. Native VOC and metadata are preserved in R83.VOC and R83.METADATA. Native compiled objects are archived in R83.OBJECT.META and R83.OBJECT.CODE; recompile source for RightMV. Live RightMV file pointers are generated locally. Legacy or whole-system pseudo0 imports remain available through FILE-LOAD.
