Restoring from a Compatible Backup

RESTORE lets you restore database files for Sybase IQ 15.0 and later. Due to changes in the format of the database, you cannot restore from a backup created on a 12.x version.

To move your data from a Sybase IQ 12.x database to Sybase IQ 15.4:
  1. Upgrade to 12.6 ESD #11 or later using the migration procedure described in the version 12.6 Installation and Configuration Guide.

  2. Follow the migration procedure described in the current version Installation and Configuration Guide.

RESTORE does not let you restore a Sybase IQ backup to a SQL Anywhere database.
