Hi Sean Does that mean I can do a level 0 restore overnight, and then a level 1 restore tomorrow night?
In other words, is doing this: nbackup -R mydb.fdb level_0.nbk level_1.nbk the same as doing this: nbackup -R mydb.fdb level_0.nbk nbackup -R mydb.fdb level_1.nbk Thanks for you assistance Gary On 6/22/2012 3:49 PM, Leyne, Sean wrote: > > Gary, > > > I am in the process of moving servers and the restore time of the 53GB > > backup is a going to cause a timing problem > > > > I have made a level 0 backup of the database, 53GB, I would like to > restore > > the level 0 backup in the meantime, and on the night of the server > swap do a > > level 1 backup which will be less than a 1GB, and restore that > backup on it's > > own, effectively adding the data missing since the level 0 backups > was made > > > > Will this be possiblem, is a level 1 backup valid to restore without the > > corresponding level 0 backup? > > But you will have a Level 0 backup.
