23.4 Restoring backups
Backups are located in the user-defined directory. Backup files contain timestamp in the name,
also the operating system timestamp exists.
NOTE: the user must be aware which backup file should be used. Therefore it is
essential to understand the backup system and the related files.
Based on this information one must choose which backup to restore.
Restore command is
# 7db backup restore <absolute-file-path>
NOTE: while issuing restore command when using online backup, it might be
necessary for the system to retrieve files from the infinite archive directory when
the restore command is issued. The access time is affected by the physical device.
If the system cannot access the files, restore shall not happen. The most recent
offline backup is the alternative point of recovery.
