3.7.3 database_location

--database_location=<local path>

Command: recover exchange_database

A folder on the Exchange server to which a database will be recovered.

The parameter is used with the recover exchange_database (p. 35) command in the following

cases:

 If the --target (p. 80) parameter value is another_database and the destination database

or storage group does not exist.

 If the --target parameter value is recovery_database.

When recovering a storage group, you need to specify pairs of the --database (p. 99) and

--database_location parameters for each database of this storage group. Otherwise, the

operation will fail.

Example:

--database=DB1 --database_location=C:\databases\DB1 --database=DB4

--database_location=D:\my_documents\DB4

When recovering a database, the --database (p. 99) parameter is not needed.

Command: recover mssql_database

A folder on the SQL server to which files of the recovered databases will be written.

The parameter is used with the recover mssql_database (p. 38) command if the --target (p.

80) parameter value is another_instance.

If the parameter is not specified, the command will fail.

3.7.4 database_state

--database_state={recovery|norecovery|standby}

The state of the recovered database. The parameter is used with the recover mssql_database (p.

38) command.

Available values of the parameter are as follows:

 recovery (by default)

After the recovery competes, the database will be ready for use. Users will have full access to it.

The software will roll back all uncommitted transactions of the recovered database that are

stored in the transaction logs. You will not be able to recover additional transaction logs from the

native Microsoft SQL backups.

 norecovery

After the recovery competes, the database will be non-operational. Users will have no access to

it. The software will keep all uncommitted transactions of the recovered database. You will be

able to recover additional transaction logs from the native Microsoft SQL backups and thus reach

the necessary recovery point.

 standby
