As described for the automatic backup of log segments (see Section Options / Autosave Log), log segments can be saved to one or more tapes in succession. CONTROL supports the interactive recovery from tapes.
Interactive Procedure:
1. Select the restore action Backup / Restore / Log (UNTIL).
2. Select the medium.
3. Check the entries.
4. Start the restore operation.
5. Confirm the restore operation and continue.
Steps 1 to 3 are the same as for restoring from one medium without continuation media.
4. Start the Restore Action
Click on the Ok button to start the restore operation and to display the label of the first log segment for confirmation.
5. Confirm the Restore Operation and Continue
CONTROL displays the result of this recovery step. The following three cases can occur:
a) When restoring several successive log segments from tape, it can happen that the first log segments do not match the data version available in the serverdb. Simply ignore this action and continue the restore operation by clicking on the Return button.
b) If the log segment could be restored successfully, CONTROL automatically continues the restore operation by loading and restoring the next log segment.
c) After restoring the last log segment of the tape, CONTROL attempts once more to restore a log segment. The database system does not recognize another log segment and ends the restore operation.
Batch Call:
No batch call is provided for restoring several log segments from tape.
