Storage device availability

Verify that the storage devices and files used in the backup are available for the restore.

If you drop a dbspace or mirror device after a level-0 backup, the dbspace or mirror device must be available to the database server when you begin the restore. If the storage device is not available, the database server cannot write to the chunk and the restore fails.

If you add a chunk after your last backup, the chunk device must be available to the database server when it rolls forward the logical log.
