You can use the Recovery Wizard to recover data interactively. You can perform a recovery with a complete data backup from the backup history.
The log files of the Database Manager, dbm.knl and dbm.mdf, exist and are not damaged. This means that the backup history is complete.
If you are restoring using external backup tools, the log file dbm.ebf must also exist and not be damaged.
The database instance is in the ADMIN operational state.
Use the Recovery Wizard.
...
1.
Choose
Restore a specified backup from
history.
You can now choose a time up to which you want to restore data. In this case,
select Restore database until a specified
time and
enter a time.
The system default is the current time. If you do not change the time proposed
by the system, the database instance is restored completely, including all
changes.
2. The backup history of the complete data backups is displayed.
3. Select the data backup you want.
4.
The
chosen data backup, the corresponding incremental data backup and the required
log backups are displayed.
You can remove the incremental data backup from the proposal. If you do this,
the Recovery Wizard proposes the corresponding log backups, or
another incremental data backup (if one exists).
5. The system prompts you to insert the specified backup medium.
6.
Start
the recovery.
If you are using external backup tools, the external backup
IDs are displayed at this point.
The complete data backup is restored.
7. If you are restoring an incremental data backup, the Recovery Wizard prompts you to confirm this.
8.
If you
need to restore log backups, the Recovery Wizard prompts you to confirm
that you want to restore all displayed log backups. After the log backups have
been restored, the database instance is in the operational state ONLINE.
If no log backups need to be restored, the recovery is complete. You can also
specify an UNTIL time. Choose Restart to start the database
instance.
When you restore a series of backups, the Recovery Wizard prompts you to insert the next backup medium each time, unless you are restoring with an automatic tape loader.
If you want, you can stop the recovery and continue it at a later time (see Continuing an Interrupted Recovery).
