Restoring from a legacy GRFS Oracle Agent database backup

To restore legacy GRFS Oracle Agent datafile backups, you must use a redirected file system restore job. After you restore the datafiles, you must use your Oracle database administration tools to add the datafile to the intended Oracle instance.
