NOTE: Full and incremental backups aren't required to be in the same directory together, but
all the incremental backups must be in the same directory.
10. He uses iManager to restore eDirectory:
a. He goes into iManager and clicks eDirectory Maintenance Utilities > Restore .
b. He logs in to the server, using the context of the new temporary tree.
c. In the Restore Wizard - File Configuration screen, he does the following:
Enters
/adminfiles/restore
for the location where he placed the backup files.
Enters
/adminfiles/restore/restore.log
for the location where the restore
log should be created.
d. In the Restore Wizard - Optional screen, he does the following:
Checks Restore Database .
Checks Restore Roll-Forward Logs .
Enters the location of the roll-forward logs.
(This is the separate location that he created specifically to hold the roll-forward logs.
Because he placed them on a different hard drive than eDirectory, the hard drive failure
did not affect them and they are still available.)
Checks
Restore Security Files
Checks Activate the Restored Database after Verification .
Checks Open the Database after Completion of Restore .
Wants eDirectory to open if the restore verification is successful.
11. He starts the restore and enters the filenames of the incremental backup files when prompted.
12. The restore verification is successful, so the database opens, back in its original tree.
The restore verification was successful because roll-forward logs were running on the server
when the hard drive failed, and Jorge included the logs in the restore.
13. Jorge re-creates the roll-forward logs configuration on the server after the restore is complete,
then he creates a new full backup.
The settings are reset to the default during a restore, which means roll-forward logging is
turned off, so he has to turn it back on. The new full backup is necessary so that he is prepared
for any failures that might occur before the next unattended full backup is scheduled to take
place.
Jorge checks the way the server is running, and it appears to be normal.
14.10.3 Scenario: Losing an Entire Server in a Multiple-Server
Environment
Bob is the administrator for 15 servers at GK Designs Company. He does full backups every
Saturday night and incremental backups nightly, running the eDirectory backup shortly before the
file system backup to tape.
All of the servers are participating in replica rings. Bob uses roll-forward logging for all the servers.
