NAME
bdb_recover - utility for recovering OpenSIPS db_berkeley files
SYNOPSIS
bdb_recover [ parameters ]
DESCRIPTION
bdb_recover is an utility to recover data from db_berkeley files created by OpenSIPS SIP server The
db_berkeley module uses the Concurrent Data Store (CDS) architecture. As such, no transaction or
journaling is provided by the DB natively. The application bdb_recover is specifically written to recover
data from journal files that OpenSIPS creates. The bdb_recover application requires an additional text
file that contains the table schema.
The schema is loaded with the '-s' option and is required for all operations. Provide the path to the
db_berkeley plain-text schema files. By default, these install to
'/usr/local/share/opensips/db_berkeley/opensips/'.
The '-h' home option is the DB_PATH path. Unlike the Berkeley utilities, this application does not look
for the DB_PATH environment variable, so you have to specify it. If not specified, it will assume the
current working directory. The last argument is the operation. There are fundamentally only two
operations - create and recover.
FILES
/usr/local/share/opensips/db_berkeley/opensips/
USAGE
bdb_recover -s schemadir [-h home] [-c tablename]
This will create a brand new DB file with metadata.
bdb_recover -s schemadir [-h home] [-C all]
This will create all the core tables, each with metadata.
bdb_recover -s schemadir [-h home] [-r journal-file]
This will rebuild a DB and populate it with operation from journal-file. The table name is
embedded in the journal-file name by convention.
bdb_recover -s schemadir [-h home] [-R lastN]
This will iterate over all core tables enumerated. If journal files exist in 'home', a new DB
file will be created and populated with the data found in the last N files. The files are
'replayed' in chronological order (oldest to newest). This allows the administrator to
rebuild the db with a subset of all possible operations if needed. For example, you may only
be interested in the last hours data in table location.
NOTES
A corrupted DB file must be moved out of the way before bdb_recover is executed.
