Performing a cold external restore

If you specify the onbar -r -e command in a cold restore, you must restore all storage spaces. Use the onbar -r -e -p command to restore all or specific storage spaces.

To perform a cold external restore:

Shut down the database server with the onmode -ky command.
Salvage the logical logs with the onbar -b -l -s command.
To restore the storage spaces from an external backup, use a copy command, such as cp, dd, or tar on UNIX or a file-backup program.
You must restore the storage spaces to the same path as the original data and include all the chunk files.
To perform an external restore of all storage spaces and logical logs, use the onbar -r -e command.
To perform a point-in-time external restore of all storage spaces, use the onbar -r -e -t datetime command.
This step brings the database server to fast-recovery mode.

ON-Bar and the database server roll forward the logical logs and bring the storage spaces online.
