What does prorest -vp do?
GOAL:
Is there any benefit to using prorest -vp after an online probkup to disk?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
OpenEdge Category: Database
FIX:
The prorest -vp parameter is use to perform a partial verification of the backup for bad blocks and reports whether any exist. The prorest utility when used with the -vp parameter instructs the prorest utility to read the backup file(s) and compute and compare the backup block cyclic redundancy checks (CRC's) with those in the block headers. If there is an inconsistency detected a CRC error like: "CRC check failed reading backup block n" will be reported. This is an indication that something is wrong with the backup. If any bad blocks are reported, then it is possible to recover data from bad blocks if a redundancy factor was specified when the backup was made. If no bad blocks are reported, then the backup should restore without issue.
With the -vp parameter, the probkup is not restored.
