Recovering from an error while restoring document library objects

Here are the basic document library objects (DLOs) recovery steps for a restore operation when errors occur.

Some errors that occur during a restore operation stop the operation. Here are two examples of this type of error:

  • An unrecoverable media error.
  • Exceeding the maximum storage specified in the user profile of the user running the restore operation or in a user profile that owns objects that are being restored.

If an error occurs that stops the restore operation, you can correct the error condition and then start the restore operation where it ended. For example, if the maximum storage is exceeded, you can increase the MAXSTG parameter in the user profile.

If an unrecoverable error occurs when running the RSTDLO DLO(*ALL) SAVFLR(*ANY) command, you must determine where the failure occurred and continue the restore operation.

Check the job log to determine if the failure occurred on a distribution object or a folder. The job log might identify where the failure occurred. If the failure occurred on a folder, go to Recovering document and folders topic.
