Restoring files to the original client
Start all restores from the NetBackup for Informix client. A backup must have completed successfully before a restore is started. Otherwise, an error message is generated.
To perform a user-directed restore, use the onbar command from the UNIX command line on the client.
Note:
You cannot run restore operations from the server.
To restore files to the original client

Use the following command:
onbar -l -s

If you need to restore these files, use the NetBackup Administration Console , as follows:
Change to the $INFORMIXDIR/etc directory.
Use the following command:
cd $INFORMIXDIR/etc
Start the Java interface:
Use 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
