Task 7: Recover the Application and User Data
To recover the application and user data that was on the NetWorker server:
1. Log in as root.
2. Load and inventory the devices. This ensures that the NetWorker server
can recognize the location of each volume.
Note: If you load a clone volume, you must either delete the original
volume from the media database or mark it as suspect in the media
database. If you are using a clone volume, it will be used for the remainder
of the recovery process.
3. Run the nwrecover program.
4. Mark all of the directories or files that you want to recover.
Important: Do not recover any UNIX operating system boot files that should
not be overwritten during a recovery. For more information on boot files, see
“Prerequisites” on page 28 .
5. Click Start to begin the recovery.
Note: By default, the directed recover option is enabled when you install the
NetWorker client. If the directed recover option was disabled on the client
before the disaster, you need to explicitly set this option to disable directed
recoveries to this client. This option is set through the nsradmin command. For
more information about setting the disable directed recover option on the
NetWorker client, refer to the Legato NetWorker Administrator’s Guide, UNIX
Version.
Task 8: Perform a Test Backup and Recovery
To test the server recovery process:
1. Perform a test backup or recovery to make sure the server is fully
recovered.
2. Verify that the server and its associated clients are included in a scheduled
backup.
