Recovering duplicate images from AdvancedDisk
A 10.1 media server cannot initiate PaaS restores from a duplicated image, if the image resides on an AdvancedDisk storage or an MSDP cloud storage. As a workaround, you can perform the following steps:
Pre-requisite:
For AdvancedDisk the media server version associated with the MSDP server must be 10.1 or above.
For MSDP cloud storage, the media server version used for recovery must be 10.1.1.
Ensure that the ushare is set up and configured on the MSDP server.
Create a universal share on this MSDP storage server. Ensure that you add the corresponding media server host name/IP in the export list of ushare.
To recover from AdvancedDisk, do the following:
- Using the Catalog node in the web UI, manually duplicate the image to an MSDP storage. See NetBackup Web UI Administrator's Guide for details.
Note:
To duplicate from a second copy, click search again after selecting the duplicate option in the catalog view.
- Once the duplication job is completed, ensure that the new recovery point is visible for the given asset in the web UI.
To start a restore job, See Recovering PaaS assets.
To restore using REST API, see section: recovery/workloads/cloud/scenarios/asset/recover. Refer to NetBackup API documentation.
Note:
For RDS instance recovery, NetBackup does not display any error or warning messages, if you initiate the restore from a backup image residing on AdvancedDisk storage.
