Latest

Use the latest option to restore the most recent backup version of a file, even if the backup is inactive.

You can use the latest option with the following commands:

  • restore
  • restore group

If you are performing a point-in-time restore (using the pitdate option), it is not necessary to specify latest since this option is implicit when pitdate is used.
