Determine which database to recover
Determine where backups are located
If the backups are striped locate all the stripes
Order the backups in the required sequence to be applied.
Determine the recovery type: physical, transaction log , is there a
specific point in time for the recovery
If it is a point in time recovery determine the transaction log backups
to be applied.
Start an isql session
Issue load database
Issue load transaction for all the transaction log backups
If the recovery is PIT issue load transaction with until_time
Issue online database or online for standby access
Determine if the database and application are ready for production
use.

Common SQL-BackTrack Features







Dry run backup and recovery
Table recovery from physical backup
Unattended on-line and off-line backup
Incremental backups
Compression and encryption
Storage management integration
Guided recovery
Unique SQL-BackTrack Features for
Sybase

Master database recovery





Needs to be rebuilt, if lost or damaged
Generates Master Database Recovery template
script to recover
Remote administration
Warm stand-by server support
Table level recovery includes recovery of
dependent objects (triggers, etc.)
Unique SQL-BackTrack Features
over Sybase Native Utilities

Logical Object extraction features:







DDL Only
DDL + Data
Specific objects or object types like: stored procedures only
or tables only …
Will add objects to database in dependency order. For
instance, will compile stored procedures into database in
dependency order.
Can exclude specific objects like: exclude sysusers,
sysalternates tables when copying database to another
server. Or you can exclude a type of object like exclude all
triggers.
Extract/restore database object and all of it’s dependent
objects
Default is fast bcp in, unless told to do otherwise.
Automatically takes care of rebuilding indexes.
Unique SQL-BackTrack Features
over Sybase Native Utilities



Logical restore options make shrinking your
database much easier. 1 step - do a logical
restore to a smaller database.
Warm Stand-by Server Support
Master database info, writes a text file of useful
information about the master database such as
device, configuration, database, sysusages,
and syslogin information taken from a physical
backup. Very useful in recovering the master
database.
Unique SQL-BackTrack Features
over Sybase Native Utilities




Can restore data to a database using full sql
insert statements -- useful if “select into/bulk
copy” option is turned off
Can restore data to a different segment. Useful
if you want to eliminate segments or move data
from one segment to another
Prints database allocation info. (sysusages)
from a physical backup. Useful if you have to
manually recreate the database.
Supports calling SQL-BackTrack log dump
commands from a stored procedure. Useful for
thresholds.

Comments
SBT’s intelligent incremental backup
feature writes only physical data blocks
that have changed since last backup
ASE and extension are limited to
scripts. SBT obtains relevant logs at
backup time automatically.

SBT allows users to recover information to
alternate locations (Powerful DR support

ASE automation limited to commands
included in scripts created by DBA.
Extensions allow ASE scripts to be
scheduled for execution. SBT provides
guided recovery to automate backup &
recovery as well as generate scripts
automatically for use in scheduler.
ASE (BCP utility) and extensions will
logically backup data but not schema and is
limited to environments with same OS and
ASE levels. SBT will migrate data between
differing ASE and OS versions as well as
between varying database page sizes.
