| Subj: | | RESTORE EXCLUDE for ARCMAIN |
| |
| From: | | PThomson2 |
I would love to see an EXCLUDE option for tables for RESTORE or COPY commands -- currently you can only exclude a database. I refresh
our DEVELOPMENT evironment periodically -- but we have less space on DEV.
To utilize the production cluster backups -- I restore the entire database but go to a little extra effort to cause some non essential
tables to be restructured so that the restore will "skip" the tables -- I don't need the data and can't waste the space. I do not want to
make a separate archive just for this particular restore or list tables individually -- just want to use our regular production archive but
exclude certain tables when I restore to DEV. Any thoughts as to whether the "EXCLUDE tables" for a restore or copy is being considered
for the future?
