You can use the Recovery Wizard to recover data interactively. You can perform a recovery that uses the last backup made.
The log files dbm.knl and dbm.mdf exist and are not damaged. This means that the backup history is complete.
If you are performing a restore using external backup tools, the log file dbm.ebf must also exist and not be damaged.
The database instance is in the operational state ADMIN.
Use the Recovery Wizard.
...
1.
Choose
Restore last backup.
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 last complete data
backup, the corresponding incremental
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).
3. The system prompts you to insert the specified backup medium.
4.
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.
5. If you are restoring an incremental data backup, the Recovery Wizard prompts you to confirm this.
6.
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 from an automatic tape loader.
If you want, you can stop the restore process and continue it at a later time (see Continuing an Interrupted Restore).
