NetBackup™ Web UI Microsoft SQL Server Administrator's Guide

Restore SQL Server databases from a VMware backup

The following steps describe how to use the NetBackup MS SQL Client to restore an SQL Server database from a full VMware backup. The NetBackup web UI does not currently support individual SQL server database restores from VMware backups.

To restore a SQL Server database from a VMware backup

  1. Open the NetBackup MS SQL Client.
  2. Browse for the backup images you want to restore.
  3. Expand the database instance and the database.
  4. Select the database image that you want to restore.

    Only the Recovered recovery option is available for VMware backups of SQL Server.

  5. Click Restore.
