Creating and Restoring Database Backups
47
4. InterplayRestore prompts you for the database root directory. Type the path and press Enter.
You can use a local path or a UNC path. For example:
D:\Workgroup_Databases\AvidWG
\\IEServer\WG_Database$\AvidWG
You can use the administrative share name WG_Database$ only in a UNC path.
5. The next prompt asks if you are restoring a split database configuration.
If you answer yes, the next prompt asks you to enter the Interplay database asset path, which
is the path to the AvidWG folder on shared storage. Enter a UNC path, for example:
\\SharedStorageServer\WorkspaceName\AvidWG\
n
Split databases are no longer recommended. See “Reuniting a Split Database” on page 234.
6. At the next prompt, type the backup home directory and press Enter. For example:
D:\Workgroup_Databases\AvidWG\_Backup
If you are working with a split database, this location is probably on the shared storage
server. For example:
\\SharedStorageServer\WorkspaceName\AvidWG\_Backup
7. At the next prompt, select the correct backup from the numbered list of available backups.
Complete backups are labeled “full” and Fast backups are labeled “increment” “difference,”
or “metadataonly.” After you select the backup, press Enter.
The restore process begins. For an example of the process, see
“Database Restore Session
Example” on page 49
. At the end of the process, a message informs you that you need to
restore the _Master directory manually.
8. Restore your _Master folder through whatever mechanism you use for backup.
n
The _Master database is not backed up by the automated backup feature of Interplay. See
“Recommendations for Backup Configuration” on page 31.
9. Unlock the database by using the Lock/Unlock Database view in the Interplay
Administrator.
10. Check to make sure you can access the restored database from Interplay Access, and that
you can preview clip headframes.
11. Delete the _Database.1 and _PropertyStore.1 directories, or whatever numbered backup
directories were created through the restore process. See
“Restoring an Earlier Version of a
Database” on page 42
.
