Problem

The Deployment Backup and Recovery Tool might report a failure when you are performing a recovery using batch commands sas-recover or sas-recover-offline and you are restoring a backup that has previously been recovered from an earlier time in environments that do not have a central vault configured:

If you see the error message in an environment that does not have a central vault configured and the backup being used for the recovery operation has already been used for a recovery operation in the past, use the workaround below to enable the recovery operation to proceed.

Workaround

To recover a backup that has previously been restored in an environment without a central vault configured: Create a JSON file with the FORCED option set to TRUE and then execute the sas-recover-offline or sas-recover batch command again using the JSON file as an input data file. Here is an example of the contents of the JSON file:

Note: If the error message is encountered in an environment that does have a central vault configured or if the backup being used for the recovery operation has not been used for a recovery operation in the past, contact SAS Technical Support for assistance with this error.

For more details about how to use the -inputdata option with the sas-recover or sas-recover-offline batch commands, see the Performing a Recovery Using the Deployment Backup and Recovery Tool section of the SAS^® 9.4 Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide, Fourth Edition.
