Important Values in the Restore.env File

 * Restore log file and Restore Path: This is the location of the Restore.env file and the files that come from the tape that is needed to recover the database (.log, .pat files); it is specified by the user during restore.
 * Backup Instance: Storage group that the database (or databases) belongs to.
 * Databases: Number of databases restored. A database consists of an EDB and an STM file.NOTE: The next four values (Database Name, GUID, Source Files, and Destination Files) refer to one database. If multiple databases are restored, these values are shown once for each database.


 * Database Name: The name of the database.
 * GUID: The globally unique identifier for the database.
 * Source Files: The paths to the database files when they were backed up.
 * Destination Files: The paths to the database files when they were restored.

NOTE: In the sample Restore.env file, note that MyDatabase2 was moved between the time that it was backed up and the time it was restored.
 * Log files range: The range of log files (inclusive) that were restored. All of the log files must be present to run recovery.
 * Recover Status: Displays "recoverNotStarted" if recovery has not been attempted, and "recoverEnded" if recovery was started but did not finish.
 * Recover Error: Contains error code if recovery was started but encountered an error and could not finish.
 * Recover Time: Either the time when the Restore.env was created or the last time recovery started but didn't finish.
