sybrestore performs checks in both interactive and noninteractive modes:
A check is performed to determine the version of Adaptive Server. In version 15.7 ESD #2, enhancements called dump configurations were introduced in the dump and load commands. sybrestore supports dump configurations in version 15.7 ESD #2 and later. If you are using Adaptive Server 15.7 ESD #1 or earlier, you must use external dump files
Another check determines whether Backup Server is running. The session is terminated if it is not.
The dumped database and target database are checked for geometry compatibility, which verifies that the database dump can be loaded successfully into the target database.
A final check determines whether dump history files exist for the database. If there is no such file, sybrestore prompts you to provide external dump files.
