You can use a recovery plan file and database backup that were created on an ADSM Version 3 Release 1 server to restore a Tivoli Storage Manager server. After the restore is complete, start the server by submitting the server startup job with the UPGRADEDB parameter. Use the UPGRADEDB parameter only for the initial startup.
