Hello Kristian, Although it is probably not impossible, it is also at least not straight forward to implement such a feature for MaxDB backups. This fact combined with the main usage scenario of MaxDB, that is running larger SAP applications (where, as was already pointed out by Robert, restores of single tables usually contradict the consistency of the application data), prevented so far the justification of the development costs of the feature.

Tilo; first off, thanks a lot for your reply. > You have to recover the backup into a newly created database, export > the table using MaxDB's Loader and import the table into the original > database. There is no shorter way to extract a single table from a > backup. I was afraid so, and this is also the way by then we went, yesterday. However, just out of curiosity: Are there any reasons why there is no easier way to restore a single table? Or is it just something that hasn't been needed / requested by now?
