Hot catalog restore
You can start a catalog restore with the option or with the bprecover command. More information is available in the "Disaster Recovery" chapter of the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide.
Note:
Before you run a hot catalog restore in a disaster recovery situation, the identity of the primary server should be recovered either by the disaster recovery installation or the nbhostidentity -import -infile drpkg.path command. Once the identity is recovered, the hot catalog recovery can be completed as usual.
Figure: Catalog restore and recovery illustrates the catalog restore and recovery process.
A restore of the NetBackup database from a hot catalog backup consists of the following steps (in the order presented):
The NetBackup catalog image and configuration files are restored.
The NBDB database is restored to:
/usr/openv/db/staging (UNIX) install_path\NetBackupDB\staging (Windows)
NBDB is recovered.
The NBDB database is moved from the staging directory to the target location. This location is set by the VXDBMS_NB_DATA setting. (In the bp.conf file on UNIX and by the corresponding registry key on Windows.) The default location is /usr/openv/db/data and install_path\NetBackupDB\data.
If the database is relocated, it is moved from the staging directory to the directory that is indicated in
vxdbms.conf./usr/openv/db/data/vxdbms.conf (UNIX)
install_path\NetBackupDB\data\vxdbms.conf (Windows)
