Descriptions of the options available in the Management
Console Restore tab are provided.
From the
Recover tab, select
Database
Restore and click the
Show Restore Options to
modify the default restore options.
- AutoSelect
- Set this option to True (default) to quickly
select the backup objects to restore. With auto-selection, when you
select the most recent backup to restore, all other necessary backups
are automatically selected for you, up to the previous full backup. AutoSelect provides
these characteristics:
- Operates when you click a full, differential, or incremental backup.
- Ignores copy backups.
- When you click a full backup, the latest associated differential
or all associated incremental backups are selected.
- When you click a differential backup, the associated full backup
is also selected.
- When you click an incremental backup, the associated full backup
and all associated earlier incremental backups are also selected.
- For VSS backup, automatically selects all databases that were
backed up together to the local destination. This statement is not
applicable when you back up to Tivoli® Storage
Manager.
AutoSelect does not make more selections
when a differential or incremental backup is selected and no associated
full backup can be found.
- FromServer
- Enter the name of the server where the original backup was done.
The default value is a wildcard character (*).
- Instant Restore
- Set
this option to True to use volume level snapshot
restore (instant restore) for local VSS backups if the backup exists
on SAN-attached volumes. Set this option to False to
disable instant restore, which bypasses volume-level copy and uses
file-level copy (fast restore) to restore the files from a local VSS
backup. The default value is True, which uses volume
level snapshot restore if it is supported.
This option
is available for VSS operations only. When you use instant restore
for SAN Volume Controller earlier
than version 5.1 or DS8000®,
a best practice is to make sure that any previous background copies
(that involve the volumes that are being restored) are completed before
you initiate the instant restore.
This option is automatically
set to False during restoreinto operations.
Instant
restore overwrites all files on the destination file system. Also,
instant restore of incremental and differential backups are automatically
converted to file-level restores. Instant restore requires that the
drive or volume where the mailbox database is located must be available.
There must be no access to the drive or volume by any other process
or application.
- Mount Databases After Restore
- Select
the MountDatabasesAfterRestore option to automatically
mount databases after the recovery completes.
- Replay Restored and Current Logs
- Use the ReplayRestoredANDCurrentLogs option
to replay any transaction log entries that display in the current
active-transaction log. This log includes both current and restored
logs. This option is the default value. This option is not supported
for instant restore.
- Replay Restored Logs Only
- Use the ReplayRestoredLogsONLY option to
replay any transactions that display in the restored-transaction
logs. After you run this type of restore, do a new full backup.
- RunRecovery
- Select
this option to specify whether to replay just the restored logs or
to replay both the restored and current logs. When recovery is not
run, the databases are not online.
