Files and tables used for media recovery

SESAM/SQL uses the following database-specific files together with tables stored in the catalog space (catalog tables) for media recovery:

• PBI file (in the case of disk copy and online backup using ARCHIVE) or an HSMS work file (in the case of online backup using HSMS)

• CAT-REC file

• CAT-LOG files

• DA-LOG files

• RECOVERY_UNITS catalog table

• DA_LOGS catalog table

The database administrator specifies the file attributes and the storage media for the unavailable database-specific files in the media table.
