Recover the Master Database

You can recover a master database in the Sybase Adaptive Server.

Note: You must run the Sybase Adaptive Server in the single-user mode.

Follow these steps:

1. Verify that Arcserve Backup, Sybase Adaptive Server, and the agent are installed on the appropriate systems.
2. Append the parameter -m to the command line in the RUN_servername.BAT file.

   Note: You can find the RUN_servername.BAT file in the sybase_main_dir\ASExxx\install directory

3. Run the RUN_servername.BAT file.

   The Sybase Adaptive Server is now in the single-user mode.

4. Restore the master database using Arcserve Backup and the agent.
5. Shut down the server and restart it in the normal (multi-user) mode.

For more information about restoring a master database, see the Sybase documentation.
