User guide

After the recovery completes, users will have read-only access to the database. The software will

undo any uncommitted transactions. However, it will save the undo actions in a temporary

standby file so that the recovery effects can be reverted.

The standby value is primarily used to detect the point in time when a SQL Server error

occurred.

When recovering a system database, this parameter is ignored. System databases are always

recovered in the recovery state.

3.7.5 destination_database

--destination_database=<db>

The parameter is used with the recover exchange_database (p. 35) command if the --target

(p. 80) parameter value is another_database.

The parameter specifies the database or storage group to which the database or storage group

specified in the --items (p. 75) parameter will be recovered. An existing database or storage group

can be overwritten only if you add the --overwrite (p. 104) parameter. If the specified database or

storage group does not exist, it will be created.

For detailed information about the value format, see "Specifying Exchange data" (p. 76).

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

3.7.6 destination_instance

--destination_instance=<instance name>

The parameter is used:

 With the recover mssql_database (p. 38) command only if the --target (p. 80) parameter

value is another_instance.

 With the mount mssql_database (p. 53) command.

The parameter specifies the instance where the databases specified in the --items (p. 75)

parameter will be recovered or mounted.

If the parameter is not specified or if you type a non-existing instance name, the command will fail.

3.7.7 disk_location

--disk_location=<path>

The local or network folder to which the recovered data items will be saved. The parameter is used:

 With the recover exchange_database (p. 35) and recover mssql_database (p. 38)

commands only if the --target (p. 80) parameter value is disk.

 With the recover exchange_mailbox (p. 36) command only if the --target (p. 80)

parameter value is pst.

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