Dear all,

we currently try to find out the secrets of the backup / restore
features of SapDB.
We are using SapDB 7.3.0.20 on SuSe Linux and Win NT.

On both systems we have the following situation and behaviour. 
We have a database with some tables belonging to user esad.

1. Backup:
We create two complete backups using the Database Manager (GUI) 
a) Migration
b) Recovery

2. Deleting tables
We delete all (except of one) tables of the user esad.

3. Restore:
Set DB to cold.
Restore of one of the two backups (no matter which one).
Restart DB (to warm)
All steps are running without any error messages.


The result is that none of the tables we have deleted in step 2 are
available and that's our problem.

The only way to get the deleted tables into the database is to install
the DB once again and do a recovery using the following commands:
dbmcli -d <DB> -u <user>,<pwd>
  util_execute INIT CONFIG
  util_connect
  reecover_start <RecoveryBackupMedia>
  db_warm


Are there any good informations available how backup / restore is
working ?


Thanks and
best regards

   Hannes
