Hi all,

Any suggestions is appreciated.

I am trying to restore a backup to a new server.

1. Ran prorest db db.bk1 < files.txt to restore a backup with multiple parts.

Get failure saying the db can not expand enough so I copied the .st file from the live system and put it in the folder where my backup files are.

2. Ran the same command, backup ran right through however get to the end it says:

Please enter next device/file name or type "quit" to exit: ...
Please enter next device/file name or type "quit" to exit: ...

Multiple times... but once that is finished the restore failed with EOF error:

failed due to EOF during next output device request

Any ideas ?

Thanks!

P.S. OpenEdge 10.1C04
 
Did you provide prorest with all of the same file names (and files) as probkup? (From "files.txt")

It sort of sounds like maybe you are using files.txt for backup and then manually entering file names at restore? Or using a different text file with a different number of extents listed?
 
I used the same text file but I changed the paths in it.

I tested another db also with multiple files and it worked so there is probably something wrong with the file as you suggested.

I will check the file and post back.

Thanks.
 
Ok, that fixed it.

I restored the databases again from backup, copied the st file from the live system and re-created the files.txt file (from the original used for backup) carefully changing the paths.

The restore was successful!

Thanks again for your help.
