Backing Up and Recovering the Database › Using Third-Party Backups

Using Third-Party Backups

If the database was backed up with a third-party product, do the following steps to recover the database:

1. Restore the database from a valid backup.

   A valid backup requires that all data sets comprising the database were backed up, and the database was not updated during the backup.

2. Use SARTDR TADD to add CA View backup tapes created since the backup used for Step 1.
3. Use SARTDR TLOAD to load generations needed for production.
4. Restart the CA View archival task and resume operation.
