How do you roll forward logical logs after an EMC Timfinder restore is complete? We are going to be using EMC timefinder to make a BCV backup of our database at a certain time (4am). If we find system corruption at 9am, we can restore the BCV to get us to 4am, but I believe that we need to roll forward the logical logs to get to 8:59am. Currently we backup our logs to tape, but we may consider backing them up to disk. Anyone done this with EMC Timefinder. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Marc Hopkins marc.hopkins@aei.com

Look for the complete details in the "Backup and Restore Guide" under the topics "What is an External Backup or Restore?" and "Recovering Data Using External Backup and Restore". Its fascinating stuff. Rudy Marc Hopkins wrote: > How do you roll forward logical logs after an EMC Timfinder restore is > complete?
