Data restore with archecker

Use the archecker utility to perform to types of restore operations.

The two types of restores that the archecker utility performs are:
  • A physical restore that is based on a level-0 archive.
  • A physical restore followed by a logical restore, which uses both a level-0 archive and logical logs to restore data to a specific point in time.

When reading the command file, archecker determines whether to perform a physical restore only or a physical restore followed by a logical restore. By default, archecker performs a physical and logical restore. If you use the WITH NO LOG clause, archecker does not perform a logical restore.

The procedures and resources that archecker uses differ between a physical-only restore and a physical and logical restore. These procedures are outlined in the following sections.
