Restore and
	At the beginning of a restore session, Data Protector switches the
Recovery	SAP DB/MaxDB database to the Admin mode. If the database cannot be
	switched to the Admin mode, an error is issued in the Data Protector
	monitor.

Only a complete SAP DB/MaxDB instance can be restored. Using the integration, SAP DB/MaxDB instances can be restored from:

•full backup sessions or

•from a combination of full, differential and transactional backup sessions.

At the end of a restore session, Data Protector switches the

SAP DB/MaxDB database to either the Online mode or the Admin mode, depending on the Data Protector restore and recovery options.

With this integration, restore denotes the process of transferring the backed up data (data, archive logs, configuration) from backup media to the system being restored. Recovery denotes the process that follows the restore and includes applying redo logs (if present on the

SAP DB/MaxDB Server) during the process of switching the database to the Online mode.
