IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

DSMSERV RESTORE DB (Restore the database)

Use this utility to restore a database by using a database backup.

Restriction: You cannot restore a server database from a different Tivoli® Storage Manager server when both of the following conditions are true:
  • The database backup is stored on virtual volumes
  • The connection to the Tivoli Storage Manager server is protected by SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)

The restore operation uses database backups created with the BACKUP DB command.

Important: After a point-in-time restore operation, issue the AUDIT VOLUME command to audit all DISK volumes and resolve any inconsistencies between database information and storage pool volumes. Before restoring the database, examine the volume history file to find out about any sequential access storage pool volumes that were deleted or reused since the point in time to which the database was restored.
