can progress procopy command use for restore

[menai2000]

In my new job, there is a script file (HP UNIX) for the existing backup

#****** Start of file *****
chmod ug+w /d01/world/symix.lg
procopy /d01/world/symix /d03/symix/backup/symix
#****** End of file *****

*** note - the bi file actually stored in /d02/world/symix_bi/symix_b1, symix_b2 ...

If I need to restore the backup file back to /d01/world/symix

Can I just do a reverse script file

#******* Start of file ******
chmod ug+w /d03/symix/backup/symix.lg
procopy /d03/symix/backup/symix /d01/world/symix
#******* End of file *******

depending on the version of progress ( and i'll assume a v8+ ) your structure of where individual extents are contained in a file called "symix.st"

if you have a symix.st file in your backup directory then the various extents will be written to where they are defined in that file.
if you don't have one, then all extents will be written in the backup directory itself.

For restoring the above conditions would be exactly the same except that your target directory would be world instead of backup and the structure in the world/symix.st would be used.
