Restoring HBase data on the same HBase cluster
To restore HBase data on the same HBase cluster, consider the following:
Use the NetBackup web UI to initiate HBase data restore operations. This interface lets you select the NetBackup server from which the objects are restored and the client whose backup images you want to browse. Based upon these selections, you can browse the backup image history, select individual items and initiate a restore.
The restore browser is used to display HBase directory objects. A hierarchical display is provided where objects can be selected for restore. The objects (HBase directory or files) that make up a HBase cluster are displayed by expanding an individual directory.
An administrator can browse for and restore HBase directories and individual items. Objects that users can restore include HBase files and folders.
