RE: Recovering or attaching a SAPDB database-how to

Hello red,

without a backup there is no way to restore your database to the state directly 
before the server crashed. All you can do is reinstall the SAP DB software and 
create a database that looks like your old one.

Your attach db sounds to good to be true, how can it recreate/restore a 
database after the complete OS is formatted and reinstalled without any kind of 
backed up data?

Best regards

Hi All,
 
Hope this works with SAPDB.
Our server has crashed. Unfortunately I haven't run the backup procedure yet 
when this happens. The server was reformatted and Windows NT 4.0 reinstalled. 
Now, Windows NT 4.0 is working well but how can I restore our database once I 
installed SAPDB.
 
All I read in the documentation is restore from the backup but I haven't find 
anything about our scenario.
 
In SQL Server, I could just use the system stored procedure attach db and all 
will work well even without the backup just the SQL database itself, how can I 
do the same with SAPDB?
 
We urgently need to get our database up immediately, please help.
 
Thanks.
