VMS Help BACKUP, Qualifiers, /OVERLAY *Conan The Librarian |
Writes over an existing file when an identically-named file is
encountered during the restore operation. If the identically-
named files are not the same size, the file is extended (when the
file being restored is larger) or retains its allocation (when
the file being restored is smaller).
By default, BACKUP does not restore a file with the same file
name, file type, and version number as a file that already exists
in a directory. Rather, BACKUP issues an error message and does
not restore the file. The /NEW_VERSION and /REPLACE qualifiers
also override this default, but produce different results than
the /OVERLAY qualifier.
