Locating Volumes That Contain Partial Save Sets

Depending on the size of your storage spaces, a save set might require more than one storage volume during a backup. The Partial column in the ism_show -volume command indicates if a save set spans more than one storage volume. Typically, save sets do not span more than two volumes. If you need to recover a save set, you might want to preload all the volumes before you begin the restore operation.
