Database 
Recovery
All changes to the database can be recovered by the following 
operations:
Journaling enabled for the Linter Database.
Linter software maintaining a record of every update since 
the last checkpoint.
If the Linter Database (
$VS_DIR/linter/db)
 becomes either 
corrupt or loses data, you can recover the database from 
checkpoints, journals, and backups.
To restore your database, follow the steps below:
Step 1.
Look in the 
ARCDEVICE
 path or the 
LHBDEVICE
 
path to determine either the checkpoint or the 
archived checkpoint file to restore. You designated 
these locations setting up the 
scr_unix.bsl 
for 
your system backup.
Step 2.
Call ADIC technical support to assist in the 
restoration of the database.

Caution
Database recovery should ONLY be performed 
with the assistance of ADIC technical support. You 
should NOT attempt to restore the database on 
your own.
