Veritas NetBackup™ for Enterprise Vault™ Agent Administrator's Guide

Recovering an Enterprise Vault server

The following procedure describes how to recover an Enterprise Vault server. Use the following procedure to recover an Enterprise Vault server in Enterprise Vault 7.5 or later.

Note:

Veritas recommends that you run the Enterprise Vault tools to verify the consistency of the Enterprise Vault indexes and database. If an inconsistency exists, rebuild the Enterprise Vault indexes. In addition, Veritas recommends that you run Enterprise Vault tools with the guidance of Enterprise Vault Support.

To recover an Enterprise Vault server

  1. Install the operating system and any other required applications to prepare the Enterprise Vault server for restore.
  2. Install the Enterprise Vault application on this system if it is not installed already.

    It may benefit you to know the Enterprise Vault topology on this Enterprise Vault server when it is time to select the Enterprise Vault backup images.

  3. Restore the Enterprise Vault directory database if this Enterprise Vault server hosted the Enterprise Vault directory database.

    See Restoring Enterprise Vault SQL database components.

  4. Configure the Enterprise Vault server to the Enterprise Vault directory database in the Enterprise Vault configuration.
  5. Install the NetBackup client on this system if it is not installed already.
  6. Restore the Enterprise Vault monitoring database if this Enterprise Vault server hosted the Enterprise Vault monitoring database.

    See Restoring Enterprise Vault SQL database components.

  7. Restore the Enterprise Vault auditing database if this Enterprise Vault server hosted the Enterprise Vault auditing database.

    See Recovering an auditing database.

  8. Restore the Enterprise Vault FSA Reporting database if this Enterprise Vault server hosted the Enterprise Vault FSA Reporting database.

    See Recovering an FSA Reporting database.

  9. Restore the Enterprise Vault fingerprint database if the Enterprise Vault hosted a vault store group.

    See Recovering a fingerprint database.

  10. Restore the first vault store that is a part of this Enterprise Vault server. Use the following steps to understand which are the components that you must restore:

    • Restore the vault store database.

      See Recovering a vault store database.

    • Restore all of the vault store partitions.

      Restore the first vault store partition.

      See Recovering vault store partition.

      Repeat this step for all partitions in the vault store.

    • Run the Enterprise Vault recovery tools to repair the consistency of the vault store. That helps to bring the partitions, and the vault store database, to a consistent state. Veritas recommends that you run Enterprise Vault tools with the guidance of Enterprise Vault Support.

  11. Repeat Step 10 for the remaining vault stores that are a part of this Enterprise Vault server.
  12. Restore the index location data for all index locations that were a part of this Enterprise Vault server.

    See Restoring an Enterprise Vault file system component.
