NetBackup Snapshot Manager data recovery
NetBackup Snapshot Manager data recovery using script
- While recovering NetBackup Snapshot Manager metadata using the tar file, reinstall the NetBackup Snapshot Manager and use the tar file using recover option.
For example, flexsnap_configure recover --backup-file <tar file>
- Ensure that you use the same host name (FQDN) while reinstalling the NetBackup Snapshot Manager after disaster recovery.
- While reinstalling, provide the reissue token generated from the NetBackup web UI for the host and ensure that you use the same port number which was used earlier.
- All the configuration steps (such as adding host entries in
/cloudpoint/openv/etc/hosts) must run again on the new NetBackup Snapshot Manager VM. - (Required only if NetBackup primary server version is other than 10.4 or later) NetBackup Snapshot Manager must be registered again using re-issue token in NetBackup.
- To recover and connect the existing agents on both on-host and agentless hosts, perform the following steps:
For on-host agents, to renew the agents, run the following commands:
For Linux
/opt/VRTScloudpoint/bin/flexsnap-agent --renew --token <auth_token>
For Windows
"c:\ProgramFiles\Veritas\CloudPoint\flexsnap-agent.exe" --renew --token <auth_token>
This step is not required for agentless connections.
Restart the Linux on-host agent, run the command:
sudo systemctl restart flexsnap-agent.service
This step is not required for agentless connections.
Run a plug-in level discovery for NetBackup Snapshot Manager from web UI, to discover the agentless and on-host agent assets.
Run a NetBackup Snapshot Manager discovery from web UI, to retrieve and display the agentless and on-host agent assets.
(Optional) If the backups fail, restart NetBackup Snapshot Manager, run the command:
flexsnap-configure restart
After following the recovery steps, NetBackup Snapshot Manager operates normally. You can also recover assets using earlier snapshots or backup copies.
