Displaying a Restore Chain
You have the option of displaying the restore chain for a selected backup without performing the
restore. To display the restore chain, use the /printchain option in a interactive or non-interactive
command line, as shown in the following examples:
Non-interactive mode:
InterplayRestore /metadata F:\Workgroup_Databases\Test /backupdir
F:\Workgroup_Databases\Test\_Backup /printchain
Interactive mode:
InterplayRestore /printchain
In either case, you are asked to choose a backup starting point.
Choose a backup to restore from:
[1] 04 February 2013 16:39:00 full
[2] 04 February 2013 16:42:00 incremental
[3] 04 February 2013 16:44:00 incremental
[4] 24 February 2013 01:00:00 full
Choose an entry ( 1 - 4 ): 3
