Hi,
in order to clear the log, you should use the "util_execute init config"
from dbmcli. In order to do that you will need to open a utility session
with the command "util_connect" (ex: util_connect dbm,dbm), always within
dbmcli.

Subject: How to restore a database?
As the subject leads to expect, this is probably a very stupid
question, which is likely to be answered somewhere in the
documentation or the list's archives, but I have not found it yet.
I'm currently experimenting with backup and restore procedures and
have run into a slightly confusing problem:
- I create an instance, operate on it and do a complete data backup.
- I continue to work on the instance and eventually decide that
something has gone wrong and that I need to revert to the previous
backup's state.
- I restore the backup and find that nothing has changed. Eh?
- I create another instance, restore the backup there and find
myself with precisely the data I expected.
What happened? Did the database, after restoring the backup to the
original instance, automatically run the available logs to bring
the database up to the latest data?
- I turn off autolog and create another log backup medium.
- I perform some more operations on the database.
- I do a log backup, in order to purge the active log.
- I send the database into admin mode and remove the log backup
medium, so that all log information since the original complete
backup should be gone.
- I restore the complete backup. Again, I get the latest data, not
what was in the backup.
What happened?
