Hello David, it will not look into that directory directly, but it will restore files dbm.knl and dbm.ebf of database D1 temporarily when they are needed (e.g. for function "dbmcli -d D2 ... backup_ext_ids_get <medium> D1").
Best regards, Tilo Heinrich SAP Labs Berlin -----Original Message----- From: David Lane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 9:54 AM To: maxdb@lists.mysql.com Subject: ORIGINAL_RUNDIRECTORY parameter What is the usage of the ORIGINAL_RUNDIRECTORY parameter? The documentation says 'use this only for a migration'. I'm creating a database (D2) by recovering a backup of another database (D1). I specify ORIGINAL_RUNDIRECTORY in the BSI_ENV file of database D2. Does that mean that the recovery will look in ORIGINAL_RUNDIRECTORY for the backup history (dbm.knl, dbm.mdf, dbm.ebf)?
