When to Restore a DMS

When you restore a DMS, dmsmgr uses backup files from another DMS to create a new DMS. The following scenarios describe when to restore a production DMS:

• When a catastrophic production system failure has occurred.
• When the production DMS database is corrupt.
• When you need to set up a new production DMS on a different host.

The following scenarios describe when to restore a disaster recovery DMS:

• When the disaster recovery DMS is not in sync with the production DMS.
• When the disaster recovery DMS database is corrupt.
• When you need to set up a new disaster recovery DMS on a different host.

Note: You can restore a DMS over an existing DMS, or into a new directory where no DMS exists.
