Why SQL-BackTrack? An example of a recovery of a Sybase database using the native utility

1. Determine which database to recover2. Determine where backups are located3. If the backups are striped locate all the stripes4. Order the backups in the required sequence to be applied.5. Determine the recovery type: physical, transaction log , is there a

specific point in time for the recovery6. If it is a point in time recovery determine the transaction log backups

to be applied.7. Start an isql session8. Issue load database9. Issue load transaction for all the transaction log backups10. If the recovery is PIT issue load transaction with until_time11. Issue online database or online for standby access12. Determine if the database and application are ready for production

use.

Common SQL-BackTrack Features

Dry run backup and recovery Table recovery from physical backup Unattended on-line and off-line backup Incremental backups Compression and encryption Storage management integration Guided recovery

Unique SQL-BackTrack Features for Sybase

Master database recovery Needs to be rebuilt, if lost or damaged Generates Master Database Recovery template

script to recover Remote administration Warm stand-by server support Table level recovery includes recovery of

dependent objects (triggers, etc.)

Unique SQL-BackTrack Features over Sybase Native Utilities

Logical Object extraction features: DDL Only DDL + Data Specific objects or object types like: stored procedures

only or tables only … Will add objects to database in dependency order. For

instance, will compile stored procedures into database in dependency order.

Can exclude specific objects like: exclude sysusers, sysalternates tables when copying database to another server. Or you can exclude a type of object like exclude all triggers.

Extract/restore database object and all of it’s dependent objects

Default is fast bcp in, unless told to do otherwise. Automatically takes care of rebuilding indexes.


Logical restore options make shrinking your database much easier. 1 step - do a logical restore to a smaller database.

Warm Stand-by Server Support Master database info, writes a text file of useful

information about the master database such as device, configuration, database, sysusages, and syslogin information taken from a physical backup. Very useful in recovering the master database.


Can restore data to a database using full sql insert statements -- useful if “select into/bulk copy” option is turned off

Can restore data to a different segment. Useful if you want to eliminate segments or move data from one segment to another

Prints database allocation info. (sysusages) from a physical backup. Useful if you have to manually recreate the database.

Supports calling SQL-BackTrack log dump commands from a stored procedure. Useful for thresholds.

SQL-BackTrack for Sybase vs Competition

ASE and extension are limited to scripts. SBT obtains relevant logs at backup time automatically.

LimitedLimitedYESTransaction Log Backup Automation

SBT’s Logical Extraction feature can recover tables, stored procedures, triggers, etc. directly from a physical backup

NONOYES Logical object recovery from a physical backup

NONOYES Logical database backup

ASE and extensions will only migrate data. SBT backups up table schema, dependencies, and data. (SBT unique)

LimitedLimitedYES Logical object backup

NO

YES

Extensions (VERITAS &

Legato)YESYESPhysical database

NO

ASE 12.0/ 12.5

SBT’s intelligent incremental backup feature writes only physical data blocks that have changed since last backup

YES Physical database backup (Incremental)

CommentsSBTFunction

Unique/noteworthy feature


SBT allows users to recover information to alternate locations (Powerful DR support tool)

NONOYESRecover to alternate host, database

NONOYESDry Run Recovery

ASE (BCP utility) and extensions will logically backup data but not schema and is limited to environments with same OS and ASE levels. SBT will migrate data between differing ASE and OS versions as well as between varying database page sizes.

LimitedLimitedYESMigration

Extensions (VERITAS & Legato)

ASE automation limited to commands included in scripts created by DBA. Extensions allow ASE scripts to be scheduled for execution. SBT provides guided recovery to automate backup & recovery as well as generate scripts automatically for use in scheduler.

Master Database recovery is a tedious, manual process. SBT greatly simplifies process by generating template with relevant information in support of recovery.
