Recovering the NetVault Database
This section summarizes the procedure necessary for recovering the NetVault
Database (NVDB) from tape. For instructional details, see the NetVault
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 reinstall 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
SnapExtensions
screen and re-enable the NetVault
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 NVDB.
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
NVDB:
• Perform a Full Recovery of the NetVault Database —
Although NetVault offers
provisions for recovering individual elements of the NVDB, 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 BakBone
Technical Support.
• Do Not Monitor Job Progress During a Recovery —
It is strongly recommended
that all NetVault windows be closed, and the NetVault GUI be closed during the
recovery of the NVDB, as this may interfere with the process.
