Recovering the Search Database

The Search database maintains recoverable transaction logs. Thus, under normal circumstances, you do not have to do anything to recover the database. Recovery from errors and transient conditions such as a full disk are straight forward. If desired, maintain Search database archives and restore from an archive in case you lost the entire database. In this scenario, you would copy the archive to the original database to recover it.

To Recover the Database

Steps

1. Stop all processes accessing the database, including the Portal Server instance.

2. Use the rdmgr -R command to recover.
