Hi all,
I need to restore an offline backup database to a new database structure. what are the correct steps to follow.
I was planning on doing the following
prostrct create dbfile dbfile.st -blocksize 8192
prorest dbfile backup-file
rfutil dbfile -C aimage end
proutil dbfile –C truncate –bi 16384 –biblocksize 16 - not sure if needed
rfutil dbfile -C aimage truncate –aiblocksize 16
rfutil dbfile –C aimage begin
rfutil dbfile –C mark backedup
rfutil dbfile –C AIARCHIVER ENABLE
do I if need to run command "rfutil dbfile -C aimage new" immediately after the mark backedup command.
thanks for any help
Robert
No need to "aimage end" -- after the restore ai is not running.
The truncate steps and setting the blocksizes are not needed -- but you could argue that they are not a bad idea.
No, I don't think you need an "aimage new" at that point.
Also prostrct create is not necessary.
prorest will first do "prostrct create" and then restore the database.
And you need to reverse "mark backedup" and "aimage begin". First "mark backedup", then "aimage begin"
Thanks Tom,
I appreciate the help
Thanks Dmitri,
I will switch these steps
