Dear All, Primary: 11.50.FC8W2 HP-UX B.11.31 HDR : 11.50.FC8W2 HP-UX B.11.23 Our HDR went out of sync :( We have taken a level 0 backup (using ONBAR and VERTIAS) from Primary on last Saturday '13-10-2012' and carried the tapes to our DR site for building up the HDR by level 0 Restore. However the vertias catalog import took more than 72 hours and it finished today morning at 6:00 AM, At 06:41 AM IST we started the Level 0 Restoration of our HDR BUT now we are sure that the original logical log from where the logical restoration will start is going to WRAP around and overritten by activities on primary and Hence we need your help to understand the steps to start a logical restore (after physical restore is finished) using the backed up logical log files from primary server ( we have already copied and secured them on the secondary server). Please note again that we are using VERTIAS net backup solution for backup and restore. Kindly help me with your expert advise so that we can sucessfully complete the HDR restoration and bring the HDR back in sync with primary. Regards, Vikas
What Everett said. I had to do it in the summer, and he's correct.
