RESTORE andRECOVER are two different commands.RECOVER, as we will see in a later

ROLLFORWARD command.
You can specify whether you want to manually specify the backup image location, or if
you want to select from the list that DB2 has maintained in a history file. If the system

However, if you have moved the image manually, you can select that location
manually.
