Browsing for SQL Server backup images
This procedure describes how to browse for available backup images. When you have displayed the backup images you want, then follow the instructions for restoring a specific SQL Server object.
If you use a specific network interface for backups, see the following instructions.
See Performing restores of SQL Server when you have multiple NICs.
To browse for backup images
- Change the host and instance you want to access.
- Select File > Restore SQL Server objects.
- In the Backup History Options dialog box, select the SQL Host whose backup images you want to browse, or type its name.
- Indicate the Source Client, if applicable.
In most cases when you browse for backup images, you only need to specify the SQL Host name. When the NetBackup client name and the host name are different you also need to also provide the Source Client name. For example, if the NetBackup client name is the network interface name. For Intelligent Policies, you also need to indicate the Source Client if you add or register the instance with a host name that is different than the NetBackup client name.
- Select the date range to search.
- Click OK.
- Continue with the applicable instructions for how to restore the object(s).
