Procedure 10-3 Problem: I need to immediately restore a backed-up
database to recover from a catastrophic problem
Restore the database from a backup version. Alcatel recommends that the database is
restored on a new workstation. If you must perform the restoration of the database on the
same workstation where the original database is installed, you must shut down the
original database instance before performing the restore.

Move the database backups to a secure location for storage or future use, according
to your company policy.
Note — Ensure that the backup location is not tampered with,
overwritten, and has enough space to contain the database. For regularly
scheduled backups, ensure that there is enough space for numerous
backup copies of the database.
Warning — Performing any database modifications using the Oracle
database or tablespace tools can cause irreparable harm to the database
and your network management data. Performing such modifications can
void your Alcatel warranty and support agreements. Contact your Alcatel
technical support representative to help you troubleshoot your database.

performed on the same workstation where the original database is installed, and
