Hi Chandra,

Still not clear with response on

3) What do you mean by usedfulesystem storage method as posted in your query ?
content server database storage process - file sysystem storage instead db storage

As you have content server installed with file system storage, then what is the use of MaxDB database ?

As part of the content server installation it asks SAP DB Volumes Media type, and took the option as file system, so, it save the db volumes in file system.  This is the oldest SAPDB 7.3 software. Hope this makes sense.

Here is the question -trying to restore the database using production copy , so trying to find out how restore proces works for sapd7.3.. what cmds works here...
