The ifnewer option replaces an existing file with the latest backup version only if the backup version is newer than the existing file.
Only active backups are considered unless you also use the inactive or latest options.
Note: Directory entries are replaced with the latest backup version, whether the backup version is older or newer than the existing version.
Use the ifnewer option with the following commands:
- restore
- restore backupset
- restore group
- retrieve
Note: This
option is ignored if the replace option is set
to No. Supported Clients
