No, that means .

2. gbak -R(eplaceMyPerfectlyFineDatabaseWithABackupThatMightBeCorrupt)

Don't use -R unless you do not care if you lose the database to
corruption.

2. gbak -C(reateNewDatabase) is much better. It will create a new
database so if it fails, you do not lose the good database.

Once you restore, you do not need to sweep.
