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
```
(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, 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
```
