Name

nbdb_restore — recover the database that is backed up to a directory using nbdb_backup

SYNOPSIS

nbdb_restore -recover source_directory [-dbn database_name] [-ignore_tlog]

nbdb_restore -recover -staging [-dbn database_name]

 

On UNIX systems, the directory path to this command is /usr/openv/db/bin/

On Windows systems, the directory path to this command is install_path\NetBackup\bin\

DESCRIPTION

The nbdb_restore command does a restore and recovery from a backup to a directory using nbdb_backup. The recommended method to protect the SQL Anywhere NBDB and BMRDB databases is through the Catalog Backup interfaces.

nbdb_restore restores from the staging directory to recover only the NBDB. The default is to apply the current online transaction log. By default, the current online transaction log is applied to make the database as consistent as possible with the current db/images directory.

OPTIONS

-dbn database_name

Specifies the database name of the NBDB to be recovered.

-ignore_tlog

Does not apply the current online transaction log to the NBDB recovery operation.

-recover source_directory

The location of the backup.

-staging

Restores the NBDB from the staging directory.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 - Restore and recover NBDB from the copy in the default staging directory.

# nbdb_restore -dbn NBDB -ignore_tlog -recover -staging
