NetBackup™ Troubleshooting Guide

Restoring files from a NetBackup online catalog backup

Because the online catalog backup uses the standard backup format, you may recover specific files using the NetBackup web UI or the Backup, Archive, and Restore user interface. Restoring catalog files directly to their original location may cause inconsistencies in the NetBackup catalog or cause NetBackup to fail. Instead, you should restore catalog files to an alternate location.

To restore files from an online catalog backup

  1. Open the NetBackup web UI. Or, use the Backup, Archive, and Restore client interface.
  2. Click Recovery. Then on the Regular recovery card click Start recovery.
  3. Select NBU-Catalog as the policy type.
  4. Set the source client and destination client to your primary server.
  5. Select the catalog files to restore.
