Recover Offline Full Backups

To recover a database that was backed up in full while it was offline, shut down the Oracle server and use the Arcserve Backup Client Agent for Windows to recover the Oracle database.

Note: Restoring a database from a full offline backup also fully recovers the database.

To recover a database that was backed up while offline

1. In the Restore Manager window, expand the server and volumes containing the Oracle database backups.

   The directories containing the Oracle database backups appear.

2. Expand the directories and select all of the individual backups that make up the Oracle database, or select the directory under which the backups exist.
3. Initiate the restore.

   The database that was backed up while offline is recovered.

Note: Oracle database files can be located anywhere (on any hard disk or in any directory). If you are performing a full restore of your Oracle server, you must select all the Oracle database files located on different drives.
