uvbackup and uvrestore
They don't appear anywhere in the DataStage manuals. Next time you're at the "UniVerse" prompt (preferably in a telnet session) execute the following commands (case sensitive):
HELP uvbackup
HELP uvrestore
It's been there at every release since 1.0, and is still there at 7.0.1. I don't have 7.1 yet, but they've had no reason to remove it.
The main benefits are the ability to restore single records into hashed files (including those in the Repository) and to rename during restore.
Command line options are different on UNIX and Windows platforms, so you will find that there are separate help topics for the separate platforms.
In particular, UNIX has "natural" tree-walking, whereas Windows does not so, on Windows, you generate a recursive list of pathnames using uvwalk and use the output of that as input to uvbackup.
Well, you asked!
