symclone restore parameters
Need help crafting symclone restore parameters.
1) Our initial setup of symclone is: symclone -d create -precopy -differential -exact -tgt -nop
2) To active initially symclone -d activate -tgt -nop
Daily routine for symclone is as follows
3) symclone recreate -d -precopy -tgt -nop
4) symclone activate -d -tgt -nop
My understanding is that you restore while in activate mode.
My understading is that you can perform a differential restore.
what parameters do I need for the symclone restore procedure
do I need in case I need to restore from the target volumes?
No Events found!

yes, your symclone has to be in activated state, and the actual device state should be "Copied". The command to restore is:
symclone -g restore
after restore is complete you will need to run "symclone split" to be able to run "symclone recreate" again.

Do I have to append any other operands such as -tgt, or will the command automatically pick all the target device for the restore?

sorry, i don't remember if you have to use -tgt for restore ...i typically use device files for clone operations. That should be easy to test though with a pair of un-used devices.
