The DBLOG command line utility allows you to display or change the name
of the transaction log or transaction log mirror associated with a database. You
can also stop a database from maintaining a transaction log or mirror, or start
maintaining a transaction log or mirror.
Set the name of the transaction log mirror file (-m)
filename for a new transaction log mirror. If the database is not currently using
a transaction log mirror, it starts using one. If the database is already using a
transaction log mirror, it changes to using the new file as its transaction log
mirror. Most Adaptive Server IQ databases do not use a transaction log mirror,
so this switch is rarely used.
Set the name of the transaction log file (-t)
including an optional directory path, for a new transaction log. If the database
is not currently using a transaction log, it starts using one. If the database is
already using a transaction log, it changes to using the new file as its
transaction log.

perform any more incremental restores. Instead, you must start the entire
restore again.
