Hot catalog restore
You can start a catalog restore with the following methods:
In the NetBackup web UI, select
In the NetBackup Administration Console, open the NetBackup Catalog Recovery Wizard
The bprecover command
More information is available in the "Disaster Recovery" chapter of the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide.
Note:
Before you run a hot catalog restore in a disaster recovery situation, the identity of the primary server should be recovered either by the disaster recovery installation or the nbhostidentity -import -infile drpkg.path command. Once the identity is recovered, the hot catalog recovery can be completed as usual.
Figure: Catalog restore and recovery illustrates the catalog restore and recovery process.
A restore of the NetBackup database from a hot catalog backup consists of the following steps (in the order presented):
The NetBackup catalog image and configuration files are restored.
The NBDB database is restored to:
/usr/openv/db/staging (UNIX) install_path\NetBackupDB\staging (Windows)
NBDB is recovered.
The NBDB database is moved from the staging directory to the target location. This location is set by the VXDBMS_NB_DATA setting. (In the bp.conf file on UNIX and by the corresponding registry key on Windows.) The default location is /usr/openv/db/data and install_path\NetBackupDB\data.
If the database is relocated, it is moved from the staging directory to directory indicated in
vxdbms.conf./usr/openv/db/data/vxdbms.conf (UNIX)
install_path\NetBackupDB\data\vxdbms.conf (Windows)
