Restoring files to the original client

Start all restores from the NetBackup for Informix client. A backup must have completed successfully before a restore is started. Otherwise, an error message is generated.

To perform a user-directed restore, use the onbar command from the UNIX command line on the client.

Note:

You cannot run restore operations from the server.

To restore files to the original client

Before you replace any disks that have failed, salvage the logical-log files.
Use the following command:
```
onbar -l -s
```
(Conditional) Determine whether you need to restore the $ONCONFIG file, sqlhosts file, emergency boot file, or the oncfg_$INFORMIXSERVER.SERVERNUM file.
If you need to restore these files, use the NetBackup Administration Console , as follows:
- Change to the $INFORMIXDIR/etc directory.
  Use the following command:
```
cd $INFORMIXDIR/etc
```
- Start the Java interface:
  Use the following command:
```
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/jbpSA &
```
- Select the files to restore and start the restore.
Use onbar to physically restore the damaged dbspaces.
For example:
```
onbar -r -p dbspace1 dbspace2
```
Use onbar to logically restore the dbspaces that you physically restored.
For example:
```
onbar -r -l
```
