Recovering the NetVault Database
This section summarizes the procedure necessary for recovering the NetVault
Database from tape. For instructional details, see the NetVault for GuardianOS
documentation that shipped with your Snap Server.
Pre-Restore Requirements
Before restoring the database, perform the following steps on the Snap Server acting
as the NetVault Server:
1
Completely re-install and configure the same version of the GuardianOS that the
server was running. The OS installation will also reinstall the NetVault Server
software.
2
If necessary, navigate to the
Maintenance > Add-On Features
screen and re-enable
the NetVault for GuardianOS software.
3
Remove all media from the device(s) used by the NetVault Server except the
media that contains the backup saveset needed for the recovery of the NetVault
Database.
4
Add all devices previously added to the NetVault Server through the use of the
Device Management window.
5
From the Device Management window, the media containing the backup saveset
will be recognized as FOREIGN in its designated drive or library slot. Scan the
media before proceeding with the restore operation.
Restore Recommendations
The following recommendations are offered for the process of recovering the
NetVault Database:
• Perform a Full Recovery of the NetVault Database —
Although NetVault offers
provisions for recovering individual elements of the NetVault Database, it is
recommended that a full recovery be performed. If recovering individual
components, it is strongly recommended that this be performed under the
guidance of NetVault Technical Support.
