Frank,

Try the restore using the command:
:restore *T; MACMAN.MACSDATA.BTLIVE, MACMAN##.MACSDATA.BTLIVE;...

Since only 27 files qualified for the restore, I suspect that "MACMANGB" is
the file that gets created when a database is first opened up and deleted
when the last process accessing the database closes it.

I don't know how it was included in the backup in the first place, since
most backup packages will 'flag' such a file as being in a state that
prevents it from being stored (Although I have no experience how the
'online' store packages handle such a file).

Regards
Paul Christidis






I am hoping someone can help me resolve an issue.  I have been restoring
databases in a production group with out problems by doing the following:

 :FILE T;DEV=7
 :RESTORE *T;@[log in to unmask];&
 :ACCOUNT=BTTEST;CREATOR=MGR;GID=BTTEST;&
 :SHOW;PROGRESS=1
This restore restores about 5 image databases in the group, the root file
and the individual files.  I have spent most of this afternoon trying to
restore the data from our live account to a test account, and am getting
the
following errors:


 MACMANGB.MACSDATA.BTLIVE   NOT RESTORED: FILE IS PART OF AN IMAGE DATABASE
AND
ROOT IS NOT
  SPECIFIED.

 WILL RESTORE       27
 FILES          ; NUMBER OF FILES ON MEDIA    48502
 MACMAN05.MACSDATA.BTTEST   NOT RESTORED: DISC ALLOCATION FAILURE

A discfree c returns the following for the volume set the files are on:

This seems to be ample free room, I am overlaying the existing databases to
refresh the account.

I have tried adding NOACD on the restore line with the same results.
