HP Data Protector A.06.11 Command Line Interface Manual page 205

DESCRIPTION
The omnir command restores objects backed up using Data Protector. You can use
the omnir command to restore filesystems (UNIX, Windows), very big file systems,
disk image sections, NetWare objects, NDMP objects and Data Protector internal
database (IDB) to their original (or a new) location. The command can be also used
for restoring Integration objects (SAP R/3, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft
Exchange Server single mailboxes, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SharePoint Portal
Server, Lotus, Informix Server, DB2 and SAP DB/MaxDB) or to start the instant recovery
process. To restore a Sybase database, refer to the syb_tool man pages.
If several copies of the same object version exist, you can let Data Protector select
which media set will be used for the restore. You can also specify the media set from
which you want to restore the data, except when restoring integration objects. It is
not possible to specify the media set created as a result of the media copy operation.
The omnir command also supports parallel restore. You can achieve this by specifying
more than one object using the command line options. It is not possible to use the
-medium option when performing a parallel restore. The number of objects for
parallel restore is limited by the global option MaxSessions, which can be set on
the Cell Manager in the file
Data_Protector_program_data\Config\Server\options\global
(Windows Server 2008),
Data_Protector_home\Config\Server\options\global (other Windows
systems), or /etc/opt/omni/server/options/global (UNIX systems).
NOTE: It is not allowed to specify the same object more then once within the same
omnir command. To differentiate options for the same object (for example, the
-tree option) specify these options for the same object as many times as needed.
Information about all backed up objects can be obtained from the IDB by using
omnidb command or, in the case of the instant recovery, from the ZDB database by
using the omnidbxp, omnidbva, omnidbsmis, or omnidbvss command. (See
the related man pages for more information). For most restore actions you need to
specify the SessionID of the session containing the object you want to restore,
which can be obtained by the omnidb command.
NOTE: When restoring integration objects, provide the SessionID of the backup
session. In case of object copies, do not use the object copy session ID, but the
object's BackupID, which equals the object's backup session ID. If imported backup
media are used for restoring an object, do not specify the new session ID which is
assigned to the imported backup session, but the object's BackupID which is the
original backup session ID for that object.
