sybrestore Syntax

Start the restore utility by entering sybrestore along with a login and server name (or host name and port number). Providing the database name invokes noninteractive mode.

If you do not provide a password, you are prompted to enter one when you execute the command. If the connection to the server fails, an error message is raised. By default, the $SYBASE/interfaces file is used. If you specify an interfaces file, that file is used instead of $SYBASE/interfaces.

The parameters for interactive mode are:

sybrestore 
	-S server_name | host_name:port_number
	-U username
	[-P password ]
	[-t [point in time of restore]]
	[-I interfaces_file ]
    [-J character set ] 
	[-R  Restore from master database corruption ] 
	[-d dump directory ]
	[-s list system databases except master database ]
	[-v version ]
	[-z language ]
	[-o Log output]

The parameters for noninteractive mode are:

sybrestore
	-S server_name | host_name:port_number
	-U username 
	[-P password]
	-D database_name
	[-d dump_directory]
	[-I interfaces_file]
    [-o Log output]
