It looks like ptclient has never been installed going all the way back to
the IBM days. Should it stay that way, or should we look at documenting
it and installing it?
Apparently there's a function in db_verify (which we also don't install by
default) that dumps the database in the form of a script for ptclient to
create it, which is sort of interesting if it actually works.
I seem to recall using that, many years ago, to recover from a corrupted
PRDB. My recollection is that the output of db_verify was actually not
directly suitable for use as input to ptclient, and that a fair bit of
manual massaging was necessary to make everything work.
Today, my recommendation would be to use pt_util for PRDB backups and
restores.
