Creating a point in time restore configuration
The following procedure creates the restore configuration for a point in time restore for any client type. Then follow the standard restore procedures for the client.
To create a point in time restore configuration
- In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Bare Metal Restore Management > Hosts > Bare Metal Restore Clients.
- In the All Bare Metal Restore Clients pane, right-click the saved configuration for the client (the configuration labeled current), then select New from the shortcut menu.
- In the New Configuration dialog box, enter a name for the new configuration.
Below is a sample screenshot showing creation of Point-In-Time configuration for recovery.
Note:
Similar dialog is also shown in the NetBackup web UI, to create a Point-In-Time configuration for recovery.
- Click Retrieve from NetBackup.
- Select the Policy and End Date for the restore.
If the backup policy uses multiple data streams to back up the client, all of the data streams for each backup job are shown in the End Date drop-down list. Select the most recent stream of the backup job on the date to which you want to restore. Normally backup jobs occur on separate days and data streams within the same backup job are separated by seconds or minutes.
- Click OK.
The new configuration appears in the list of the client's configurations. The configuration is now ready for the prepare-to-restore operation.
- Restore the client.
