Hi Friends,
I have been submitted a case for data recover at a customer's, running 7.31 UC3 on AIX 4.4.3(....!) who realized a few days ago about disk/chunks corruptions while he was trying to restore his oldest 'usable' backup done with ontape.
ontape -r does not work because the backup is also corrupt at some places.
I am considering using archecker to recover table by table, but, looking in the What's new history, the tables recover option looks to be released in V10.00xC10.
I don't have access to the system yet, so I can't test the option.
Does the archecker -t -X exists in that version ?
any other idea to recover part of the backup ? dd'ing pages ? other?
Not sure yet if the instance can start or not
Yes, checking backups is important .....
Eric
