FACT(s) (Environment):
UNIX
SYMPTOM(s):
Trying to automate prorest from a probkup file
Do you want to over write it? [y
]: Restore failed. (1618)
Database being restored already exists
Restoring from multiple volumes using a script
CAUSE:
There is no "y" at the beginning of the input file to answer that you want to overwrite the existing database.
FIX:
Add a "y" to the input file you are using for the restore.
For example, to restore from a backup that created a .bkp file and 4 volumes, the input file should look like this (assuming that you do want to overwrite the existing database):
input.txt
y
<path>/test2
<path>/test3
<path>/test4
<path>/test5
Now run the command:
prorest test test.bkp < input.txt
The output will show:
test already exists.
