Example
When restoring an earlier VMS database and the process fails, the vms-integrity can fix the database backup archive file. To recover a vms-backup-<timestamp>.tar.gz formatted file, complete the following steps.
- Create a temporary working directory
mkdir /tmp/vms-backup
- Unpack the archive file
tar -zxf <backup-file-to-restore> -C /tmp/vms-backup
- Try to recover the database
/usr/sbin/vms-integrity -r -d /tmp/vms-backup
- Check the recovered database
/usr/sbin/vms-integrity -d /tmp/vms-backup
- Pack the database
tar -C /tmp/vms-backup -czf <fixed-backup-file>
- Delete the working directory
rm -rf /tmp/vms-backup
