Restoring an SAP DB/MaxDB Database

Figure 3-12SAP DB/MaxDB Archive Logs Restore Process—Redo Logs Details

If you select a differential or a transactional backup session to be restored, you can set the integration to:

•Perform a full database restore. In this case, the integration automatically determines the chain of needed full, differential or transactional backup sessions when performing the restore. After the restore has finished, the database is, if the Recovery option is selected, switched to the Online mode.

•Restore only the selected differential or the selected transactional backup session. If the database is consistent after such a restore and if the Recovery option is selected, it is switched to the Online mode. Otherwise, the database is left in the Admin mode.

Restoring only the selected trans or diff backup session is useful if the database remains offline or in the Admin mode after a restore from full backup session, which is then followed by a restore from diff or trans backup session.
