Restoring to a scratch database

Take the following steps to restore an archive called arch_1 to a new scratch database called scratch_1.

1. Log in as root.

2. Create a new scratch database, scratch_1, using eels_db_admin(1Meels).
   
   eels_db_admin -c scratch_1 events \
   "Scratch database" MySelf

3. Assign the correct user privileges so that whoever needs to can access the new database. For example, to enable a user called jullied to access the database, enter:
   
   eels_db_admin -x perm add db jullied scratch_1 S

4. Use eels_log_restore to restore the arch_1 archive to the scratch database:
   
   eels_log_restore -a arch_1 \
   -d scratch_1 -t events

   The contents of the archive are copied into scratch_1.
