Syntax and Usage for Restore Script

Syntax and Usage for Restore Script

---

You can use the restorebackup.pl script to restore the LMS data you have backed up.

For a successful restoration of backedup data, ensure that all services and processes are up and running. Stop the daemons and then run restorebackup.pl.

---

Note Cross platform restore is not supported. That is, you cannot restore data from a Solaris installation of LMS to a Windows installation and vice-versa.

---

The syntax for restorebackup.pl is as follows:

•Solaris

NMSROOT/bin/perl NMSROOT/bin/restorebackup.pl -d BKP [-t temporary_directory] -h -gen

•Windows

NMSROOT\bin\perl NMSROOT\bin\restorebackup.pl -d BKP [-t temporary_directory] -h -gen

The following table lists the explanation for the syntax:

Syntax	Explanation
NMSROOT—(Required)	Common Services installation directory (by default, /opt/CSCOpx in Solaris, and C:\Program Files\CSCOpx in Windows where C: is the System Drive)
-t temporary_directory—(Optional)	This is the directory or folder used by the restore program to store its temporary files. By default this directory is NMSROOT/tempBackupData. You can customize this by specifying your own temporary directory to avoid overloading NMSROOT
-gen generationNumber—(Optional)	This is the generation number. -gen now is the latest generation. If generations 1 through 5 exist, then 5 is the latest.
-d BKP—(Required)	The backup directory to use
-h—(Optional)	Displays help. When used with -d BackupDirectory, show s correct syntax along with available suites and generations

Examples

To restore...	Enter this command in Solaris	Enter this command in Windows
The latest version of data	opt/CSCOpx/bin/perl opt/CSCOpx/bin/restorebackup.p l -d BKP -gen now	C:\Progra~1\CSCOpx\bin\perl C:\Progra~1\CSCOpx\bin\ restorebackup.pl -d BKP -gen now
The 12th generation of data	opt/CSCOpx/bin/perl opt/CSCOpx/bin/restorebackup.p l -d BKP -gen 12	C:\Progra~1\CSCOpx\bin\perl C:\Progra~1\CSCOpx\bin\ restorebackup.pl -d BKP -gen 12
Data from the forced auto backup during the CS upgrade process	opt/CSCOpx/bin/perl opt/CSCOpx/bin/restorebackup.p l -d DB_BKP1 /automaticbackup/c mfbackup -gen now	C:\Progra~1\CSCOpx\bin\perl C:\Progra~1\CSCOpx\bin\ restorebackup.pl -d DB_BKP\automaticbackup\cmfbackup -gen now
