[Veritas-bu] Restoring Archived data

[David Hicks]

Sorry all, suppose I jumped the gun abit, but this is useful information 
nonetheless.
I was finally able to see the archived data using the bp command (restore, 
and then archive etc...) but only after I had navigated to the data in the 
java gui console (the one started by jnbsa).  Once I could see the data 
info in the java gui, I was then able to restart bp and see the data in 
that interface (the one I usually use becaise it is faster).  I dont 
understand why this would be...


Thanks
