NAME
       emprecov - recover an EMPRESS database from a device or file

SYNOPSIS
       emprecov  [-a file] [-f] [-v] database

DESCRIPTION
       Emprecov  reads a copy of theEMPRESS database from a device or file and
       updates it from a recovery log (specified by one of the  EMPRESS  vari-
       ables MSDBRECOVERYLOG1 or MSDBRECOVERYLOG2), first removing any current
       version of database.  Access to database is disabled  during  the  pro-
       cess.   Emprecov  asks the user for information (such as which recovery
       log to use) and confirmation during the restoration process.  The  copy
       on  the  device  or  file must have been previously created by emparch.
       The default device used is /dev/rmt0.  The restoration method  used  is
       cpio or tar (or some other) depending on the system.

       -a  file   Reads  a  copy  of EMPRESS database from file. File can be a
                 device or a file.

       -f        Forces execution without confirmation.

       -v        Verbose mode.

       Recovery logfiles are specified by the MS variables:
                     MSDBRECOVERYLOG1
                     MSDBRECOVERYLOG2
