Anywhere

Example Thisexample illustrates recovery using a mirrored transaction log.

Supposeyou have a consolidated database ﬁle named

consol.db

ina

directory

c:\dbdir

,and a transaction log ﬁle

c:\logdir\consol.log

whichis

mirroredto

d:\mirdir\consol.mlg

.

❖Torecover from media failure on the C drive

1. Backup the mirrored transaction log

d:\mirdir\consol.mlg

.

2. Replace the failed hardware and re-install all affected software.

3. Create a temporary directory to perform the recovery in (for example,

c:\recover

)

4. Restore the most recent backup of the database ﬁle,

consol.db

,to

c:\recover\consol.db

.

5. Copy the mirror transaction log,

d:\mirdir\consol.mlg

,to the recovery

directorywith a

.log

extension,giving

c:\recover\consol.log

.

6. Start the database using the following command line:

dbeng9 -a C:\RECOVER\CONSOL.DB

7. Shutdown the database server.

8. Backup the recovered database and transaction log from

c:\recover

.

9. Copy the ﬁles from

c:\recover

tothe appropriate production directories:

♦Copy

c:\recover\consol.db

to

c:\dbdir\consol.db

♦Copy

c:\recover\consol.log

to

c:\dbdir\consol.lOG

,and to

d:\mirdir\consol.mlg

.

10. Restart your system normally.

Recovery with multipletransaction logs

Ifyou have a set of transaction logs, the procedure is different. We assume

previousbackups of the database ﬁle have been made and are available, for

exampleon tape.
