Restoring files to the original client
To perform a user-directed restore, use the onbar command from the UNIX command line on the client. For redirected restores, see the following topic:
See Redirecting an Informix restore to a different client.
To restore files to the original client
- Log on to the NetBackup for Informix client.
You cannot run restore operations from the server.
- Before you replace any disks that have failed, salvage the logical-log files.
Use the following command:
onbar -l -s
Note:
On RHEL 10.0 and later version, before performing a point‑in‑time (PIT) restore, delete the dbspace files. This action bypasses the logical‑log file salvage process and lets you proceed directly to Step 3.
- (Conditional) Determine whether you need to restore the $ONCONFIG file, sqlhosts file, emergency boot file, or the oncfg_$INFORMIXSERVER.SERVERNUM file.
If you need to restore these files, follow these steps:
Change to the $INFORMIXDIR/etc directory.
Use the following command:
cd $INFORMIXDIR/etc
Start the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface with the following command:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/jbpSA &
Select the files to restore and start the restore.
- Use onbar to physically restore the damaged dbspaces.
For example:
onbar -r -p dbspace1 dbspace2
- Use onbar to logically restore the dbspaces that you physically restored.
For example:
onbar -r -l
