Restoring an MSDP catalog backup to the catalog shadow directory
To prepare for catalog recovery, restore the backup images to the database_path/databases/catalogshadow directory.
Note:
By default, storage_path and database_path are the same, but a different database_path may be specified during installation.
Always restore from an MSDP catalog backup image created on the current MSDP storage server. Attempting to recover from a backup made on a different MSDP storage server can result in data loss.
