DB4.8_RECOVER(1)					      DB4.8_RECOVER(1)

NAME
       db4.8_recover - Restore the database to a consistent state

SYNOPSIS
       db4.8_recover   [-ceVv]	 [-h  home]  [-P  password]  [-t  [[CC]YY]MMD‐
       Dhhmm[.SS]]]

DESCRIPTION
       The db4.8_recover utility must be run after an unexpected  application,
       Berkeley	 DB, or system failure to restore the database to a consistent
       state. All  committed  transactions  are	 guaranteed  to	 appear	 after
       db4.8_recover  has  run,	 and all uncommitted transactions will be com‐
       pletely undone.

OPTIONS
       -c     Perform catastrophic recovery instead of normal recovery.

       -e     Retain the environment after running recovery.  This option will
	      rarely  be  used	unless a DB_CONFIG file is present in the home
	      directory.  If a DB_CONFIG file is not present, then the regions
	      will be created with default parameter values.

       -h     Specify  a  home	directory  for	the  database  environment; by
	      default, the current working directory is used.

       -P     Specify an environment password.	Although Berkeley DB utilities
	      overwrite	 password  strings as soon as possible, be aware there
	      may be a window of vulnerability on systems  where  unprivileged
	      users  can see command-line arguments or where utilities are not
	      able to overwrite the memory containing the  command-line	 argu‐
	      ments.

       -t     Recover  to  the	time specified rather than to the most current
	      possible date.  The timestamp argument should  be	 in  the  form
	      [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS]  where each pair of letters represents the
	      following:

	      CC     The first two digits of the year (the century).

	      YY     The second two digits of the year.	 If "YY" is specified,
		     but  "CC"	is  not,  a  value  for "YY" between 69 and 99
		     results in a "CC" value of 19.  Otherwise, a  "YY"	 value
		     of 20 is used.

	      MM     The month of the year, from 1 to 12.

	      DD     The day of the month, from 1 to 31.

	      hh     The hour of the day, from 0 to 23.

	      mm     The minute of the hour, from 0 to 59.

	      SS     The second of the minute, from 0 to 61.

	      If  the "CC" and "YY" letter pairs are not specified, the values
	      default to the current year.  If the "SS"	 letter	 pair  is  not
	      specified, the value defaults to 0.

       -V     Write  the  library  version  number to the standard output, and
	      exit.

       -v     Run in verbose mode.

       In the case of catastrophic recovery, an archival copy - or snapshot  -
       of  all database files must be restored along with all of the log files
       written since the database file snapshot was made.  (If disk space is a
       problem, log files may be referenced by symbolic links).

       If the failure was not catastrophic, the files present on the system at
       the time of failure are sufficient to perform recovery.

       If log files are missing, db4.8_recover will identify the  missing  log
       file(s)	and  fail,  in	which  case  the  missing log files need to be
       restored and recovery performed again.

       The db4.8_recover utility uses a Berkeley DB environment (as  described
       for  the	 -h  option,  the environment variable DB_HOME, or because the
       utility was run in a directory containing a Berkeley  DB	 environment).
       In order to avoid environment corruption when using a Berkeley DB envi‐
       ronment, db4.8_recover should always be given the chance to detach from
       the environment and exit gracefully.  To cause db4.8_recover to release
       all environment resources and exit cleanly, send it an interrupt signal
       (SIGINT).

       The  db4.8_recover  utility  exits  0  on  success,  and >0 if an error
       occurs.

ENVIRONMENT
       DB_HOME
	      If the -h option is not specified and the	 environment  variable
	      DB_HOME  is set, it is used as the path of the database home, as
	      described in DB_ENV->open.
