Veritas NetBackup™ for DB2 Administrator's Guide

Performing a NetBackup for DB2 point-in-time rollback restore from a SnapVault backup (UNIX)

When you select a point-in-time rollback restore from a SnapVault backup, NetBackup restores the entire subvolume (qtree) to a new subvolume (qtree) on the primary host. The restore does not overwrite the existing subvolume. File verification is not performed.

The format of the new subvolume name is as follows:

mountpointname_restore.timestamp

For example: subvol1_restore.2005.05.19.10h49m04s

To perform a NetBackup for DB2 point-in-time rollback restore from a SnapVault backup (UNIX)

  1. Unmount the original subvolume, which is the subvolume that the restore process did not overwrite.
  2. Rename the original subvolume.
  3. Rename the new subvolume with the name of the original.
  4. Mount the new subvolume on the client. Use the ALTER DATABASE RENAME DATAFILE command to point to the restored data file on the newly created subvolume.
