# generic-restore command

The generic-restore command restores
a specially formatted account-save created by certain
utility programs.

**For Windows:** Not Supported

The generic-restore command functions identically to the account-restore command, except that it expects the tape to be formatted as a series
of t-dump commands written by a utility run on
a non-D3 machine.

The current utility for dumping from non-D3
boxes is the UVDUMP for dumping from UniVerse systems.

## Syntax

```
generic-restore {account.name}
```
Warning: Certain D3 look-a-likes do not write
binary items out in a standard t-dump form. This
causes the generic-restore command to *miss* the beginning of the next tape header and abort. It is critical
to avoid dumping all binary items for this reason.
