Performing a Recovery with External Backup Tools (DBMGUI) 

When you use external backup tools for recovery, the external backup IDs are automatically determined by the Database Manager GUI, displayed so that the user can check them, and used by the Database Manager GUI for the recovery. The user does not have to explicitly determine or specify the external backup IDs because the Database Manager GUI determines the necessary information.

If you want to display the external backup IDs for information purposes, you have the following options:

·        Determining and Displaying External Backup IDs (DBMCLI)
