Database server archivie and restoration for Windows

The ccmsrv archive and ccmsrv restore commands are presented together to give a clear understanding of how you can create and restore archives for a database server. This high-speed backup command is an alternate database backup strategy to the ccmdb backup command.

Ensure that you understand the following requirements before using the commands.

  1. Perform the database server archive or restore procedures at the online server level, not at the individual database level. There is no way to restore a specific database. You can only restore the entire online server. As a side effect, all other databases in the same database server revert to the latest archive after the restore.
  2. Carefully read the following information, and then devise an archiving plan for your environment. Test your plan to ensure that it does not affect your current production environment and that the archive works.
  3. Coordinate any archive or restore procedures with the local system administrator. Verify that the file system part of the Rational® Synergy database is backed up properly and in sync with the database server archive. When the archive is in progress, users can edit in the file system while the database activities are frozen, which can cause data inconsistencies.

    You must restore from both database server and file system archives during a restore procedure. If they are not in sync with each other, you might end up with data inconsistencies.
