Restoring HBase data on the same HBase cluster

To restore HBase data on the same HBase cluster, consider the following:

  • Use the NetBackup web UI to initiate HBase data restore operations. This interface lets you select the NetBackup server from which the objects are restored and the client whose backup images you want to browse. Based upon these selections, you can browse the backup image history, select individual items and initiate a restore.

  • The restore browser is used to display HBase directory objects. A hierarchical display is provided where objects can be selected for restore. The objects (HBase directory or files) that make up a HBase cluster are displayed by expanding an individual directory.

  • An administrator can browse for and restore HBase directories and individual items. Objects that users can restore include HBase files and folders.

To restore HBase data on the same HBase cluster

  1. Open the NetBackup web UI.
  2. On the left, click Recovery.
  3. Under Regular recovery, click Start recovery.
  4. On the Policies tab, click Add.
  5. On the Basic properties tab, enter the following:
    • Select the Policy type named BigData > HBase

    • Specify the HBase application server as the source for which you want to perform the restore operation.

      From the Source client list, select the required Application server.

    • Specify the backup host as the destination client.

      From the Destination client list, select the required backup host. Restore is faster if the backup host is the media server that had backed up the node.

    • Click Next.

  6. On the Recovery details tab, do the following:
    • Select the appropriate date range to restore the complete data set. Or, click Edit to select Use backup history and then select the backup images that you want to restore.

    • Select the files and folders for restore.

    • Click Next.

  7. On the Recovery options tab, do the following:
    • Select Restore everything to original location if you want to restore your files to the same location where you performed your backup.

    • Select Restore everything to a different location if you want to restore your files to a location which is not the same as your backup location.

      Provide the path.

    • Select Restore individual directories and files to different locations if you want to restore files and directories to separate locations.

    • Locate Recovery options and select the wanted options.

    • Click Next.

  8. On the Review tab, verify the recovery options and click Start recovery.
