Restoring migrated data using the command line interface

The bprestore command contains a new parameter that is designed to migrate NetBackup data. For restoring the data that has been migrated from Enterprise Vault, you must pass a new parameter-ev_migrated_data to the bprestore command line. If the -ev_migrated_data parameter is passed to bprestore, NetBackup expects that the data being restored is data that has been migrated from Enterprise Vault. The restore is then performed accordingly.

Note:

Other required parameters of the command line interface need to be passed appropriately for the restore operation to complete successfully.

If the -ev_migrated_data parameter is passed to bprestore, the data being restored must be Enterprise Vault-migrated data. Attempting to use this parameter to restore the data that is not Enterprise Vault-migrated data can result in unpredictable behavior, and is not supported.

The following is the structure of how you can use the bprestore command to restore Enterprise Vault-migrated data.

bprestore -S NBU Master Server Name -C Enterprise Vault Server Name -t 24 -ev_migrated_data Files_to_Be_Restored

Following are some examples of how to use the bprestore:

The following bprestore CLI format restores or recalls data of a particular partition (VS Ptn3) or all migrated files for a particular EV-Server.

..\Veritas\NetBackup\bin>bprestore -S hpesx4v5 -C hpesx4v7 -t 24 -ev_migrated_data "/E/Enterprise Vault Stores/VS Ptn3/*"

The following bprestore CLI format restores data of all partitions or migrated files for a particular EV-Server.

..\Veritas\NetBackup\bin>bprestore -S hpesx4v5 -C hpesx4v7 -t 24 -ev_migrated_data *
