This section describes how to perform a partial-system warm restore of your Informix database if you use ontape as your data recovery tool (that is, for your archives and backups).

• You are logged on as user informix or root .
• The database server is online.

• You have completed Preparing for a Partial-System Warm Restore (ontape).

1. Mount the tape containing the level-0 archive of the dbspaces you want to restore ( psapstab and psapprot in this example) onto the device specified by the TAPEDEV parameter in the ONCONFIG file. Execute the following command to restore, for example, the dbspaces psapstab and psapprot :

$ ontape -r -D psapstab psapprot

2. During the restore, the database server prompts you to mount the tapes with the appropriate dbspaces or logical-log files.
