Configuring mappings for restores of a distributed applications, clusters, or virtual machines
NetBackup catalogs backup images under the SharePoint front-end server name. To allow NetBackup to restore content to each server in the farm, you must map the SharePoint Central Administration server with the SQL Server back-end servers. Configure these mappings in the Distributed Application Restore Mapping host property on the primary server.
To configure mappings for restores of a distributed application, cluster, or virtual machine
- On the left, click Hosts > Host properties.
- Select the primary server.
- If necessary, click Connect. Then click Edit primary server.
- Select Distributed application restore mapping.
- Click Add.
- Provide the name of the application host and the name of the component host.
The application host is the SharePoint Central Administration server. The component host is the SQL Server back-end server that needs access to the backup image. See Table: Example entries for a single front-end SharePoint server with a clustered SQL Server back-end server.
