2. On the Backup Image page, specify the backup image that you want to use to perform the restore:

   • To use one of the backup images that are displayed, click on Select an entry from the list, then select the backup image that you want to use.

     If you have already created a backup image of the table space or table space partition from this administrative client, Select an entry from the list is preselected because the recovery history file for the database or database partition indicates that a backup image is available.

     If you know that the media type that is displayed for the backup image is not correct, then use the fields that are displayed under Change the media information if necessary to specify the correct media type for the backup image.

   • To use a backup image that is not displayed, click on Manually enter the backup image information. Use the fields that are displayed with Manually enter the backup image information to specify the backup image that you want to use.

     If you have not already created a backup image of the table space or table space partition from this administrative client, Manually enter the backup image information is preselected because the recovery history file for the database or database partition does not contain any backup history for the table space.

3. On the Containers page, click on Redirect table space containers, then click on one or more of the following to specify the type of container modification that you want to perform:
   • Add to create a new container
   • Change to change the path of a selected container
   • Remove to remove a selected container.

   Note:

   In a partitioned database environment, if you create a container or change its path, the path for the container must exist at every node.

4. Click on OK to begin the restore operation.

After the table space or table space partition is restored, it will be in the roll-forward pending state. To make it usable, use the Roll-Forward Table Space notebook.
