Re: restore with onbar and bcv: How to apply logs

1.. Shutdown the instance to be restored, onmode -kuy 2.. Salvage any logical logs which have not been backed up, onbar -l -s 3.. Initiate a BCV restore from the Timefinder group. 4.. Once the BCV's are restored, split them. 5.. Inform onbar that an external restore has occurred, onbar -r -e -p 6.. Rollforward logical logs, onbar -r -l 7.. Bring the instance online, once in quiescent, onstat - ; onmode -m We've perfected this at a number of sites, so call me if you need further advice. -- Neil Truby t:01932 724027 Director m:07798 811708 Ardenta Limited e:neil.truby@ardenta.com "Max Thoran" <m.thoran@t-online.de> wrote in message news:9ad86a88.0311120104.350cc74e@posting.google.com... > Hello, > > I have a problem with an EMC Timefinder restore.
