If you use a backup software product at your site, you do not need to have NBSYNC do the restore for
you. If you have some method of getting the files from the master to shadow system, then the only
step required of NBSYNC is to reset the directory flags for the shadowed file.
If the utility that you use for the restore/copy has an OLDDATE option, then you can run NBSYNC
with the RESET entry point. This tells NetBase to get the LAST MODIFY time stamp from the file and
use this as the resync time.
1. Perform RESTORE with the backup software, specifying the OLDDATE option.
2. Reset the status flags for a file that has already been restored with the OLDDATE option:
:RUN NBSYNC.PUB.NETBASE,RESET
