8 Follow the online instructions to complete the restore.
If the restore verification fails, see
Section 16.9, “Recovering the Database If Restore
Verification Fails,” on page 477 .
NOTE: If the server you are restoring shares a replica with a server running an earlier version
than eDirectory 8.5, the restore log will show a -666 error (incompatible DS version) for that
replica. For more information on this situation and what you might be able to do, see
“Restore
Verification Is Backward Compatible Only with eDirectory 8.5 or Later” on page 436 .

If you restored NICI security files, after completing the restore, restart the server to reinitialize
NICI.
10 Make sure the server is responding as usual.
11 (Conditional) If you are using roll-forward logging on this server, you must re-create your
configuration for roll-forward logging to make sure it is turned on and the logs are being saved
in a fault-tolerant location. After turning on the roll-forward logs, you must also do a new full
backup.
This step is necessary because during a restore, the configuration for roll-forward logging is set
back to the default, which means that roll-forward logging is turned off and the location is set
back to the default. The new full backup is necessary so that you are prepared for any failures
that might occur before the next unattended full backup is scheduled to take place.
