Well, you are right, when Foxboro switched from FoxHistory to AIM*Historian,
they completely removed the section in the documentation about restoring
files.  When we upgraded from FoxHistory to AIM*Historian, I stopped saving
files to tape, because it was a hassle and we had other data collection
systems that already performed the archiving function.  Besides, the
fast-medium-slow reduction groups were good enough to last a year for us.

Anyway, as I recall with FoxHistory when I did try to restore files, the
files always went back to the /opt/fox/foxhist/pbk directory.  Since I had
not configured this directory in the DBPATH parameter, FoxHistory could not
read the restored files.  I had to use the "move file" option to move it to
/opt/fox/foxhist/hist01 or wherever the instance was stored.  You may be
having this problem now.  Whatever directory you are restoring them may not
be on the path specified in the DBPATH parameter.  You can change the DBPATH
parameter in the Historian Configurator without having to restart the
Historian.

        Gentlemen
        We have in our installation an AIM*Historian collectin 3500 points.
We have
        a procedure to backup all the information collected, but till now we
don't
        have a good procedure to restore those information. In the
AIM*Historian
        manual there are information on how  to schedule a backup, how to
move files
        , but it says nothing about how to restore them.
        Does anybody know how to restore information. The only way is to
copy, stop
        the historian an run the xrebuil utility?

        Thanks in advance.
