Restoring from a server archive for Informix®

Restore a server archive using the ccmsrv restore command. You can restore a server archive only to a nearly identical server configuration: server name, chunk file paths, chunk sizes, and many other configuration parameters must be identical at the time of archive and restore. This method significantly restricts your flexibility.

Procedure

  1. Use the ccmsrv restore command to restore the metadata archive and all its increments.
  2. Use the logical log backups to roll forward all committed transactions up to the point of failure.

    If you have also arranged for frequent incremental backups of the file system data, or if you are using file systems with journaling or similar features, you can recover from hardware failure with almost no data loss. For more information, see Log file management overview.
