Browsing for SQL Server availability group backup images
This procedure describes how to browse for backup images of availability groups. When you have displayed the backup images you want, then follow the instructions for restoring a specific SQL Server object.
To browse for availability group backup images
- 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.
- Select or type the full qualified domain name for the Source Client.
For an advanced or a basic availability group, provide the name of the Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) cluster.
You can find the cluster name in Failover Cluster Manager or the job details for the backup.
For a read-scale availability group, provide the host name of the replica.
- (Optional) In the Database name filter box, provide a keyword or query to match databases with that name. Filtering on the database name can significantly reduce the time it takes for NetBackup to return the list of backup images.
- Select the date range to search.
- Click OK.
- Continue with the applicable instructions for how to restore the object(s).
