Hello David,

Are you using Backint for Oracle or Backint for MaxDB?

Have you set the option ORIGINAL_RUNDIRECTORY as described in
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb/en/55/a81d36451f11d5992400508b6b8b11/fram
eset.htm ?

If you use Backint for MaxDB, have you copied the file configured as
"HISTORY FILE: "
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/maxdb/en/91/24b97d483411d5992500508b6b8b11/fra
meset.htm) from your original server to the new one.

Do you know the DBM-Command "backup_ext_ids_get <medium>
[<database_name>] [<database_server>]", that can be used to inquire the
backup ID's of backups of other databases?

Best regards,
Tilo Heinrich

Subject: RE: Restore database to another server

Thanks to all who have replied.

I've made some progress, but I probably should have mentioned that the
backups were done with the backint interface - using an external backup
tool.

I've been bumbling my way forward, and this is what *seems* to work. Can
anyone tell me, is this really what's required, or am I making life
difficult for myself:

1. Create the instance (call it RECOVERY) for recovery
2. Set BACKINT and PARAMETERFILE in the BSI_ENV file of the recovery
instance, so it knows how to find backint

If I start the recovery at this point, MaxDB invokes backint with this
input:
#NULL /var/opt/sdb/data/wrk/RECOVERY/dbm.ebf
#NULL /var/opt/sdb/data/wrk/RECOVERY/dbm.knl

In other words, it has noticed that RECOVERY has no backup history, and
is trying to restore it. So:

3. Copy dbm.ebf and dbm.knl from the original instance to RECOVERY's
rundirectory
4. Edit dbm.ebf, replacing the original database name with RECOVERY in
all EBIDs
5. Create a backup medium with the same name as used in the original
backup, because that is what is in dbm.ebf

Now the recovery can go ahead.

search this list for my email about migrations (subject = 7.3 to 7.5
[NON-PARALLEL] Migration Explained (HOWTO)). It outlines the steps to do
what you want. You won't need the first part just the second since you
are already in a version >= 7.5

Hi Dave,

for the dbmcli-commands have a look at
http://sapdb.2scale.net/moin.cgi/Backup_2fRecovery

If there are any errors in the wiki, please correct them.

Kind regards, Martin
