Re: Selective Data Restore (?)
Posted in 1993
Regarding my earlier posting: > I finally did it. I inadvertently deleted a ton of precious data, for > which I have a backup on my Informix archive tape. [ . . . ] Thanks to several who sent suggestions. I ultimately fixed my problem by duplicating my Informix environment on onto a new box. I then restored the database(s) to this second system, extracted the data I needed and fixed up my trashed table on the original system. I alluded to the fact that 6.0 might solve such problems but I was wrong. As more accurately described in a note in this group a few postings back: 6.0 will allow for selective restore of individual dbspaces only, but that's the finest granularity they'll give us (which is a pity).
