Abstract
Apparatus for connecting at least one recovery station to preselected ones of plural recorders in an information processing system to recover information jobs from those recorders. Indications of those preselected recorders to which the recovery station is to be connected are stored. Depending upon the criteria on which the recovery station is to be connected to the recorders (e.g. backlog of information jobs awaiting recovery or predetermined sequence), the appropriate one of the recorders is selected and connected to the recovery station. Upon completing the recovery of information jobs from the connected recorder, the next of the preselected recorders is selected in accordance with the aforementioned criteria. Although the recovery station may be connected to recover all of the information jobs in a recorder, apparatus for monitoring and storing data related to those information jobs, including the status thereof, indicates that only the information job which is in the process of recovery is 'assigned' to that recovery station, while the remaining jobs which await recovery merely are 'ready' to be assigned.
