If a backup fails verification because of missing data,
you can perform a restore from an older backup.
To restore when a backup is missing data:
- Choose the date and time of an older backup than the one
that failed. To perform a point-in-time verification, use the onbar -v -t time space command.
- If the older backup passes verification, perform a point-in-time
physical restore by using the same time value,
then perform a log restore, as follows:
onbar -r -p -t time space
onbar -r -l
- Expire the corrupted backup at your storage manager.
- Run the onsmsync command without arguments. The onsmsync utility removes backups that
are no longer held by the storage manager from the emergency boot
file and the sysutils database, preventing ON-Bar from attempting to use such backups.
