Creating and Restoring Database Backups
48
To restore an earlier version of a database from a backup by passing parameters to the
tool, do one of the following:
t For a non-split database, navigate to the folder that holds InterplayRestore, type the
following, and press Enter:
InterplayRestore /m <database metadata root dir> /backupdir <database
backup dir>
For example:
InterplayRestore /m d:\Workgroup_Databases\AvidWG
/backupdir d:\Workgroup_Databases\AvidWG\_Backup
InterplayRestore prompts you to choose from a numbered list of available backups and then
restores the earlier version. Continue with steps 8 through 11 above.
n
The parameter
/m
is a short version of the parameter
/metadata
. You can view information on
the complete syntax for the tool by entering
InterplayRestore /help
.
n
Because the paths for the
/metadata
and
/backupdir
parameters are unlikely to change, you
can create a batch file that includes these values, as in the previous example. To restore the
database, run the batch file and select the number of the backup you want to restore.
n
Split databases are no longer recommended. See “Reuniting a Split Database” on page 234.
t For a split database, navigate to the folder that holds InterplayRestore, type the following,
and press Enter:
InterplayRestore /m <database metadata root dir>
/assets <split database asset directory>
/backupdir <database backup dir>
For example:
InterplayRestore /m d:\Workgroup_Databases\AvidWG
/assets \\isis\workspace1\AvidWG
/backupdir \\isis\workspace1\AvidWG\_Backup
InterplayRestore prompts you to choose from a numbered list of available backups and then
restores the earlier version. Continue with steps 8 through 11 above.
n
Because the paths for the
/metadata
,
/assets
, and
/backupdir
parameters are unlikely to
change, you can create a batch file that includes these values, as in the previous example. To
restore the database, run the batch file and select the number of the backup you want to restore.
t If you know the specific backup you want to restore, navigate to the folder that holds
InterplayRestore, type the following, and press Enter:
InterplayRestore /m <database metadata root dir> /backupdir <database
backup dir> /backuptorestore <backup folder for restore>
