Backing up and restoring the RLV store is part of the normal backup process.
The RLV dbspace is a persistence dbspace. The internal structure is the same as for other supported dbspaces. As a result, it is fully integrated into the SAP Sybase IQ dbspace management system.
Various system procedures are able to report meta data from the RLV store persistence dbspace. In addition, it is fully integrated into the existing Sybase IQ backup and restore architecture. In backup restore, the dbspace is part of the normal backup, and is restored. In normal recovery, the catalog store and IQ main store are recovered first, and then the server recovers the in-memory portion (the RLV-enabled tables). RLV recovery takes place against any RLV enabled table that had committed data in memory.
