All operating systems and database servers.

The database server applies the transaction log files to the mysample.db database. In this case, because -ar is specified, the database server obtains the location of the transaction logs from the database. The database continues running after the log files have been applied.

The database server applies the log files in the backup directory to the mysample.db database. The database continues running after the log files have been applied.
