Restoring the File System of an Application

Restoring an application restores the file system of the specified application to the state of the datastore.

Before you begin
  • The bwagent must be running.
Note: Wildcards can be used to restore applications if application name(s) are not known.
    Procedure
  1. To restore the file system of an application to the state of the datastore, open a terminal and navigate to BW_HOME\bin.
  2. Enter the restore command at the command line, with the -domain, -appspace, and -appnode options. Provide the application argument with the name of the application or wildcards to restore all applications for this domain. 
    BW_HOME\bin>bwadmin restore -d Machine1Domain -a AS1 -n AN1 application *.*
  3. To verify the restore, check the file system. Open the BW_HOME\domains folder. Look for the application in the BW_HOME\domains\domain_name\appspaces\appspace_name\apps folder.
