Prerequisites for recovering Cloud object store objects

Before you start recovery, make sure that these conditions are met.

  • Keep handy information about the destination bucket(s) or container(s) that you want to use for recovery.

  • Ensure that you set the Client connection timeout and Client read timeout parameters to 3600 seconds, in the primary server. You can set these parameters in Host properties.

    • On the left, click Hosts, and then click Host properties.

    • Select the primary server, and click Edit primary server.

    • Click Timeout on left, and enter value of the parameters Client connection timeout and Client read timeout as 3600 seconds. Click Save.

    See the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide for more details.

  • Select the object(s) that you want to recover. You can recover objects by selecting all objects or blobs from the selected image. Alternatively, select individual objects, select all objects under a set of folder(s), or all objects matching a set of prefixes.

  • A valid Cloud object store account is required to access the buckets, containers, and objects/blobs. You can add the Cloud object store account-related information to NetBackup while creating the account. The permission required for restoring differs from the ones required for backup. If it helps, you can create a separate Cloud object store account for recovery.

  • Ensure that you have permission to view and select the Cloud object store account and the access host. To be able to select a recovery host for a policy, in the Cloud objects tab.

  • If required, you can use a different recovery host than the one used for Cloud object store account validation. Ensure that the new recovery host has the required ports opened and configured for communication from the backup host or scale-out server to the cloud provider endpoint, using REST API calls.

  • You can plan to start multiple restore jobs in parallel for better throughput. You can select objects for recovery as individual objects, or using a folder or prefix.
