Restoring a member of an administrative VOB hierarchy

Although it is preferable to always back up members of an administrative VOB hierarchy as a group, it is likely that you will restore only a few members of a group at a time (for example, members stored on a server whose disk has failed). Whenever you restore some, but not all, members of an administrative VOB hierarchy, there is the possibility of a mismatch in global type information. For example, if an administrative VOB is backed up before a new global type is created, VOBs that are lower in the hierarchy will exhibit problems related to the unavailable global type after that backup is restored. To prevent such problems:

• After you restore an administrative VOB from backup, check for and fix any broken hyperlinks in that VOB and all other members of the hierarchy.
• After you restore any member of an administrative VOB hierarchy from backup, check for and clean up any broken hyperlinks from that VOB to its administrative VOB.
