Summary
The “restore” command restores the MeetingPlace database from the network backup.
Description
The “restore” command copies the contents of a system backup onto the system disk. It also makes sure 
that the restored database is self-consistent. This procedure is appropriate only if the database is missing 
(as in where the system disk has failed and been replaced) or irreparably corrupted in some manner.
Consult Cisco TAC before using this command.
Note
Because the backup gateway contains only database information, with no voice files, linkages between 
a restored database and the voice file system will have many inconsistencies. Any voice recordings 
created or modified since the time of the backup will be lost and cannot be recovered.
Note
To assure consistency between the database and voice file systems, the “restore” command executes the 
“recover” command automatically. Because the “recover” command can be destructive if all disks are 
not fully accessible, the “restore” command should not be executed if any disk is not mounted or not 
working properly.
Note
The recovery portion of this operation takes time proportional to the number of database records and the 
amount of voice storage on the system. On a system with a large database and a lot of voice storage, it 
can take many hours.
Restrictions
The system must be down before running the “restore” command. Use the “down” command to shut 
down MeetingPlace before running the “restore” command.
