Creating and Restoring Database Backups
50
Assume you choose 1. The tool locks the project so that no one can access the database and then
copies the files:
Beginning restore from
\\isis\workspace1\avidwg\_Backup\AvidWG_2010-06-10_03-05\
This is a Full backup
Restoring split database. Metadata restored to
d:\Workgroup_Databases\avidwg\. PropertyStore Assets restored to
\\isis\workspace1\avidwg
Locked project AvidWG
Copying files into d:\Workgroup_Databases\avidwg\_Database
Copying file AvidWG.dor
...
It leaves the database locked and gives you the following message:
Database AvidWG is still locked because you need to restore _Master
manually, or through your existing tape backup mechanism.
When you are done restoring _Master, use the Lock/Unlock Database view in
Interplay Administrator to unlock the AvidWG database. This will complete
your restore operation.
Using the BackupArchive Tool to Restore Files
The BackupArchive tool is a command-line program that lets you work with files contained in
the _PropertyStore folder contained in a database backup. The _PropertyStore folder holds
streamed properties, which are files that include metadata about Avid assets, such as headframes
and AAF information. The streamed property files are backed up (as an archive) in one or more
.bar files in the _PropertyStore backup folder. For more information about .bar files, see
“Restoring an Earlier Version of a Database” on page 42.
You can use the BackupArchive tool to display a list of all streamed properties files in the
_PropertyStore backup folder. You can also use it in an emergency situation in which the online
database is missing and the backup file is corrupt. In this case, you would use the tool to extract
as many files as possible from the corrupt backup. It is not a replacement for the
InterplayRestore tool.
For example, the following illustration shows the contents of the 0-1999 subfolder in the active
_PropertyStore folder on the Interplay Engine:
