If you want to restore an incremental backup of the devel.db database to a new database, you must first restore a full backup.
To restore an incremental backup of devel.db to a new database:
1. Use PROREST to run an incremental restore of the database from a tape once the full restore is done.
The syntax for the incremental restore is:
prorest newdev /dev/rrm/0m
The following report appears as the restore begins:
This is an incremental backup of /usr1/develop/devel.db. (6759)
This backup was taken Wed Nov 18 15:41:47 1999. (6760)
The blocksize is 1024. (6990)
It is based on the full backup of Wed Nov 18 15:34:43 1999. (6761)
It will require a minimum of 3065 blocks to restore. (6763)
Read 41 blocks in 00:00:00
2. Once the restore is complete, connect to newdev.db.
