Client, Storage, Catalog, and Where are correct. The FileSet is not
used when you specify a bootstrap file. Once you have set all the
correct values, run the Job and it will restore the backup of your
- database. You will then need to follow the instructions for your

From the above information, you can manually create a bootstrap file,
and then follow the instructions given above for restoring your database.
A reconstructed bootstrap file for the above backup Job would look
like the following:
+
\footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
Volume="DLT-22Apr05"
FileIndex=1-1
\end{verbatim}
\normalsize
+
Where we have inserted the Volume name, Volume Session Id, and Volume
Session Time that correspond to the values in the job report. We've also
used a FileIndex of one, which will always be the case providing that
specified, so the restore code must search all data in the Volume to find
the requested file. A fully specified bootstrap file would have the File
and Blocks specified as follows:
+
\footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
Volume="DLT-22Apr05"
\end{verbatim}
