Replicating Data to a RDS Container using NetVault Backup

Replicating Data to a RDS Container using NetVault Backup

By using NetVault Backup with the DR Series system, you can run optimized replication jobs. You can replicate data in backup RDS containers on one DR Series system to a target RDS container that is on a different DR Series system. Both the source and target RDS containers must be added to the NetVault Backup server as RDA devices. You can complete optimized replication (or optimized duplication) of backups that you complete using NetVault Backup.

NOTE: You cannot replicate RDS containers using the DR Series system native replication feature.
 
NOTE: The source or backup container and the target container must use the RDS protocol.

To replicate the data available on the backup RDS container to a target RDS container:

1.
In the NetVault Backup Console, click Backup.
The NetVault Backup window is displayed.
2.
From the Server Location list, select the relevant NetVault Backup server.
3.
In Job Title, enter a relevant job title.
4.
In the Selections tab, select Data Copy and then Backups or Backup Sets, and navigate to the backup job that you want to replicate.
5.
Select the Backup Options tab, under Data Copy Options select the relevant options.
 
NOTE: Under Copy Type, by default, options are set for Copy and Optimized replication for the DR Series systems.
6.
Select the Schedule tab, under Schedule Options select one of the following:
◦
Immediate — To start the backup operation as soon as you save the current backup job.
◦
Once — To run the backup only once at a scheduled time and date.
◦
Repeating — To run the backup at a scheduled time and date on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
◦
Triggered — To run the backup if the system encounters a pre-specified Trigger name.
7.
Under Job Options select the relevant options.
8.
Select the Source tab, under Device Options select, Specify Device.
The RDS devices added to NetVault Backup are displayed.
9.
Select the relevant source RDS device from the list of displayed devices.
You can select more than one device.
10.
Select the Target tab, under Device Options select, Specify Device.
The RDS devices added to NetVault Backup are displayed.
11.
Select the relevant target RDS device from the list of displayed devices.
You can select more than one device.
12.
Under Media Options and General Options, select the relevant option.
13.
Select the Advanced Options tab and select the relevant options.
14.
To run the optimized replication job, click the Submit icon.

Restoring Data From a DR Series System using NetVault Backup

Restoring Data From a DR Series System using NetVault Backup

The following steps describe how to use NetVault Backup to restore data from a RDS container on a DR Series system.

To restore data from a DR Series system using NetVault Backup:

Start the NetVault Web user interface (UI), and in the Navigation pane, click Create Restore Job.
2.
In the saveset table, select the saveset that you want to use, and click Next.
3.
On the Create Selection Set page, select the items that you want to restore.
The selection tree is plug-in specific. For more information about selecting data for restores, see the relevant NetVault Backup plug-in user's guide.
4.
Click Edit Plugin Options, and configure the options that you want to use and then click Next.
These options are plug-in specific. For more information about these options, see the relevant NetVault Backup plug-in user's guide.
5.
On the Create Restore Job page, specify a name for the job. Assign a descriptive name that allows you to easily identify the job for monitoring its progress.
A job name can contain alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters, but it cannot contain non-Latin characters. There is no length restriction. However, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended on all platforms.
6.
In the Target Client list, select the restore target as follows:
◦
To restore data to the same client (from which data was backed up), use the default setting.
◦
To restore data to an alternate client, select the target client in the list.
◦
Alternatively, click Choose. In the Choose the Target Client dialog box, select the client, and click OK.
7.
In the Schedule list, select an existing Schedule Set, or click Create New, and configure the schedule type and schedule method. To run the job as soon as it is submitted, use the "Immediate" set.
For more information about these options, see the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator's Guide.
8.
In the Source Options list, select an existing Source Set, or click Create New, and configure the source device options. To use a particular DR Series System, select the Specify Device option, and in the list of devices, clear the check marks for the devices that you do not want to use.
For more information about these options, see the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator's Guide.
9.
Click Submit to submit the job for scheduling.
 
NOTE: For more information about using NetVault Backup, see the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

Supported DR Series system CLI commands for RDS

Supported DR Series system CLI commands for RDS

The following are the supported DR Series system CLI commands for RDS operations:

 
NOTE: The --files in the rda --show --file_history command represents replicated files that were processed via the DMA optimized duplication operation. This command displays only up to the last 10 such files. The --name in the rda --show --name command represents the RDA container name. For more information about RDA-related DR Series system CLI commands, see the DR Series System Command Line Reference Guide.
