Integrating SAP DB/MaxDB and Data Protector

Restoring an SAP DB/MaxDB Database

The selected time is the system time on the system running the Data Protector GUI or CLI. If the system to be recovered is not in the same time zone as the system running the Data Protector GUI or CLI, the point of recovery is adjusted to the local time setting on the system to be restored.

Use existing archive logs / -from_diskSelect this option to copy the existing archive logs on the SAP DB/MaxDB Server to SAP DB/MaxDB Server redo logs.

If this option is not selected, the backed up archive logs on backup media are applied to the redo logs (if trans backup session is restored), or the redo logs are left intact together with the existing archive logs on the SAP DB/MaxDB Server (if full or diff backup session is restored).

When a transactional backup session is selected for restore or when it is a part of the needed restore chain, and the Use existing archive logs option is selected at the same time, the archive logs from Data Protector media are applied to the redo logs. Thereafter, the archive logs on the SAP DB/MaxDB Server are applied to redo logs.

The Use existing archive logs option is disabled in case of

SAP DB/MaxDB migration, thus allowing only for the restore of redo logs from the backed up archive logs on backup media (if trans backup session is restored).

Using Another Device

Data Protector supports restore using a device other than the one that was used at backup time.

If you are performing a restore using the Data Protector GUI, see online Help index: “selecting, devices for restore“ for more information on how to perform a restore using another device.
