Description
The vob_restore command restores a damaged VOB. It prompts for all required input and displays explanatory text at each step. If you quit vob_restore before it completes, you can use the –restart option to resume VOB restoration at the point where you stopped it.
If the VOB is replicated, you must run the MultiSite restorereplica command immediately after restoring the VOB from backup. For more information, see the DevOps Code ClearCase Administrator's Guide.
Options and arguments
If you do not specify all required command line arguments, vob_restore prompts for input.
Specifying the VOB
Specifying a restart file
- Default
- None. If you omit this option, vob_restore does not attempt to find a restart-state file that may have resulted from an earlier, aborted vob_restore invocation on the same VOB tag.
- –restart restart-path
- Specifies the pathname of the restart file saved during a previous invocation. Always record the restart-path that is reported by vob_restore when you stop VOB restoration before it has completed.
Examples
- Restore VOB /vobs/src on a UNIX or
Linux system. To complete the recovery, run checkvob to find and fix
inconsistencies between the restored VOB database and the restored VOB storage pools.
vob_restore prompts for all required information. Note: In this example, as is recommended, the restored data is not retrieved from backup media before running vob_restore.
