About recovering the entire NetBackup catalog
Cohesity recommends that you recover the entire catalog. Doing so helps ensure consistency among the various parts of the catalog.
Recovery includes the catalog image files and configuration files that are in the catalog backups that are identified by the disaster recovery file, as follows:
Full backup |
The NetBackup database that is identified by the DR file is restored. The images and configuration files that are identified by the disaster recovery file are restored. |
Incremental backup | The NetBackup database that is identified by the DR file is restored. All catalog backup image files back to the last full catalog backup are automatically included in an incremental catalog backup. You can then use the NetBackup web UI or the Backup, Archive, and Restore user interface to restore all backup images. |
You can use either of the following methods to recover the entire catalog:
The NetBackup catalog recovery wizard.
See Recovering the entire NetBackup catalog using the NetBackup catalog recovery wizard.
The text-based wizard launched by the bprecover -wizard command and option.
