Configuring mappings for restores of a distributed application, cluster, or virtual machine
NetBackup catalogs backup images under the SharePoint front-end server name. To allow NetBackup to restore content to each server in the farm, you must map the SharePoint Central Administration server with the SQL back-end servers. Configure these mappings in the Distributed Application Restore Mapping host property on the master server.
To configure mappings for restores of a distributed application, cluster, or virtual machine
- On the master server, open the NetBackup Administration Console.
- Select NetBackup Management > Host Properties > Master Servers.
- In the right pane, double-click on the master server.
- Select Distributed Application Restore Mapping.
- Click Add.
- Provide the name of the application host and the name of the component host.
The application host is SharePoint Central Administration server. The component host is the client that needs access to the backup image. See Table: Example entries for a single front-end SharePoint server with a clustered SQL back-end server.
