19.5 Recovery procedure when the backup was not made with the pdcopy command

Executor: HiRDB administrator

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.

19.5.3 Example 3: Recovering all RDAREAs to the most recent synchronization point
19.5.4 Example 4: Recovering specified RDAREAs
19.5.5 Example 5: Recovering the master directory RDAREA only
