SQL Server, and Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server integrations. Such databases
are usually backed up with interdependent data streams and, consequently,
restore must be started with the same number of devices as used during backup.
•
Automatic device selection (default):
Data Protector should automatically replace unavailable devices with available
devices of a compatible type. You can define which devices are compatible by
giving them the same device subtype name during configuration. Only devices
(drives) that are of the same media type and from the same library should have
the same device subtype name. The restore can be started with fewer devices
than were used during backup.
Operators are allowed to restore
A popular restore policy is that only dedicated backup operators or network
administrators have the right to restore files or perform disaster recovery.
When to use this policy
Use this policy in the following cases:
•
In a large network environment where it is best to have a dedicated person to do
such jobs.
•
In an environment where end users do not have the necessary computer knowledge
to restore files, operators can be trusted to restore sensitive data.
What needs to be done
You need to do the following, to implement this policy:
•
Add the backup operators or network administrators that will restore data for
other people to the Data Protector
operators
or
admin
user group.
You do not need to add other people (such as users who want to perform restores
to their own systems) to any Data Protector user group.
•
During installation, do not install the Data Protector user interface on end-user
systems. Install the Disk Agent that allows Data Protector to back up these systems.
•
Establish a policy of handling requests for restore. This policy should cover how
end users request the restore of files, for example, via email containing all the
details necessary for the operator to locate and restore the files back to the
end-user system. The end users should also have a way of knowing when the files
have been restored.
