Re: Restore ADAM Instance



That would be the expected behavior. Here's why I say that: a restore is a
point in time picture of the data. If you replicate data between servers,
then both of them should theoretically be the same. If you then put a day
old copy back into the synchronization fabric, it should bring itself up to
date with the rest of the environment. That's referred to as backfill in
JET terminology (JET being the underlying db technology being used.)

It sounds like you want the authoritative restore. Here's some information
on that procedure:
