This section explains database recovery when a backup was made without using the pdcopy command (i.e., when another product's facility was used). The database recovery procedure is outlined below:

Procedure

To recover the database:

1. Use the other product's restore facility to recover the database to the backup acquisition point.
2. Use the pdrstr command to recover the database to the most recent synchronization point.

• To recover the database to the backup acquisition point only, perform step 1 only.
• If the master directory RDAREA is included in the RDAREAs to be recovered when recovery is to the most recent synchronization point or recovery is with a range specification, first recover the master directory RDAREA only, then recover the remaining RDAREAs.
