Restore Critical Files [only]

In case of a mistakenly deletion of files in/below the instance home directory of Db2 it should be possible to restore [only] these files/directories etc.

At the moment if files/directories are mistakenly deleted, a complete database restore would be required usually causing a long outage.

    With the delivery of DB24LUW-I-1018DB24LUW-I-1018 Avoid Single point of failure for Db2's critical files, the current idea is no longer necessary, thus closing upon agreement with Finanz Informatik.

    > Restore the critical files to a (empty) supplied path would enable to copy the restored files to the appropriate destination without the risk of accidentially overwriting anything.

    This is probably what I would suggest designing and what I will suggest for this RFE.

    Hello,

    What specifically would you be looking for to restore?

    Think 'it depends!' Restore the critical files to a (empty) supplied path would enable to copy the restored files to the appropriate destination without the risk of accidentially overwriting anything.

    But there are probably different problem scenarios with different solutions.

    What specifically would you be looking for to restore? We have several meta data files and each have subtly different restore semantics based on existing database or not. So how would you want this to work? Restore to the same database or some supplied path so it doesn't necessarily overwrite what may already be there?
