Directory files created with DSAVE or DEXPORT

Directory files created with the DSAVE or DEXPORT statements, that are no longer supported, can no longer be used in backups. They can only be used for restore runs.

Files that were saved using a directory file with DSAVE or exported using a directory file with DEXPORT can be restored with the RESTORE statement. However, the device type of the hard disk where the save file is located must also be specified for the DEVICE operand in the RESTORE statement.
