Restoring linked databases or directories and the link file

The following procedure describes how to restore linked databases or directories and the link file.

Warning:

Failure to move the actual database before you restore the link file can lead to data loss. If you only restore the link, Domino deletes the database that the link references.

To restore a linked database or directory and the link file

  1. Restore the database file to the directory that is referenced in the database or the directory link.

  2. Move the databases that the link file references to a temporary location.

  3. Restore the database link file.

  4. Move the actual databases back to their original location.

  5. On the NetBackup client, open the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface.
