Distributed application restore mapping properties
Some applications, such as SharePoint, Exchange, and SQL Server distribute and replicate data across multiple hosts. Or, the configuration includes a cluster where communication occurs across multiple nodes. Use the Distributed Application Restore Mapping to provide a mapping of the hosts in the database environment so that NetBackup can successfully restore the databases. See the administrator's guide for the database agent for more details.
For example, for a SharePoint farm, assume that the farm has two application servers (App1 and App2), one front-end server (FE1) and one SQL database (SQLDB1). The Distributed Application Restore Mapping for this SharePoint server would be as following follows:
Application host | Component host |
|---|---|
App1 | SQLDB1 |
App2 | SQLDB1 |
FE1 | SQLDB1 |
The Distributed Application Restore Mapping dialog box contains the following properties.

Adds a component host that is authorized to run restores on a SharePoint, Exchange, or SQL Server application host. For SharePoint, NetBackup catalogs backup images under the front-end server name. To allow NetBackup to restore SQL Server back-end databases to the correct hosts in a farm, provide a list of the SharePoint hosts. For Exchange, any operations that use Granular Recovery Technology (GRT) require that you provide a list of the Exchange virtual and the physical host names. Also include the off-host client and the granular proxy host. For SQL Server, this configuration is required for restores of a SQL Server cluster or a SQL Server availability group (AG). Note: For VMware backups and restores that protect SharePoint, Exchange, or SQL Server, you only need to add the hosts that browse for backups or perform restores. You also must configure a mapping if you use a other than . See the administrator's guide for the database agent for more details. Note: Use either the client's short name or its fully qualified domain name (FQDN). You do not need to provide both names in the list.
