This SAP tool enables you to restore an entire database backup or parts of it, when the backup was performed with BRBACKUP. Any non-database files and directories you saved can also be restored. In the process, the subdirectories in sapdata<n> directories are automatically created, when necessary.

You can also restore the offline redo log files that were backed up with BRARCHIVE. This operation can be performed at the same time as the restore of the corresponding backup.
