You can perform read-write restore operations only against a server running the utility database.
Before you restore, verify with Sybase Technical Support that a restore operation is necessary.
You cannot run restore operations against a secondary server.
During restore operations, the database can be running only if you restore a backup of read-only files. When restoring files in a read-only dbspace, the dbspace must be offline. Run sp_iqdbspace to determine offline status.
You can also use the restore operation to re-create a multiplex on a different system when no problems have occurred.
