NetBackup™ for Microsoft SQL Server Administrator's Guide

Perform a restore of a remote SQL Server installation (NetBackup MS SQL Client)

You can use NetBackup for SQL Server to restore databases on a remote host. Generated batch files must be saved on the remote host. You can launch the operation from the local installation of NetBackup for SQL Server.

To perform a restore of a remote SQL Server installation

  1. Open the NetBackup MS SQL Client.
  2. Select the host and instance you want to access.

  3. Browse for the backup images you want to restore.

  4. Select the options for the operation.

    See Options for NetBackup for SQL Server restores.

    Save is enabled in the restore dialog box. Launch immediately is disabled because the generated script must run on the remote host that you are logged on to.

  5. Click Restore.
  6. Navigate to the install_path\NetBackup\DbExt\MsSql\ folder on the remote host, and save the batch file there.
  7. Run the operation from the local installation of NetBackup for SQL Server.
