Restoring data from vaulted media
You may need to restore images from the media that is stored in your off-site vault. The high-level procedure in this section describes how to restore data from vaulted media.
To restore data from vaulted media
- Recall the media.
- Change the images to be recovered to primary (NetBackup restores from the primary image).
Use the bpchangeprimary command to promote a copy to primary.
See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
- If the media is not suspended or frozen, suspend the media.
Use the bpmedia command to suspend the media.
See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide.
- Inject the media into the robot.
Injecting the media moves it into the robot and also changes the off-site volume group attribute of the media to the robotic volume group so NetBackup knows that the media are in the robot.
- Using the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface, restore the data.
See the NetBackup Backup, Archive, and Restore Getting Started Guide.
- After restoring all the data, revault the media.
