This topic describes the advanced restore operations that can be performed using Plug‑in for Domino.

•
Renaming and relocating data during restore
•
Restoring data to an alternate server
•
Performing a disaster recovery to the same Domino Server

Renaming and relocating data during restore

The plug-in lets you rename or relocate a server database, template, or individual mailboxes during a restore. You can use this feature to create a copy of an item, or move it to an alternate location with the same name or a new name.

* 
IMPORTANT: This feature does not allow you to overwrite an existing database. The restore fails if a file with the same name exists in the specified location.
1
In the Navigation pane, click Create Restore Job, select Plug‑in for Domino from the Plugin Type list, select the applicable saveset, and click Next.
For more information, see Selecting data for a restore.
2
On the Create Selection Set page, select the item that you want to rename or relocate.
3
From the Actions list, select Rename.
4
In the Rename/Relocate dialog box, configure either or both of the following parameters, and click Ok.
•
Rename: Enter the new name.
•
Relocate: Enter the new path.
5
Configure the required restore options.
For details, see Setting restore options.
* 
IMPORTANT: If you do not select the Last Backup Set option on the Rollforward tab, the database and the mailboxes are restored to the path specified in the Tmp Directory for Recovery field.
6
Complete and submit the job.
For details, see Finalizing and submitting the job.

Restoring data to an alternate server

The Plug‑in for Domino can be used to restore Full Backups to an alternate Domino Server. This procedure can be used to copy a database from one production server to a different production server.

* 
NOTE: Incremental Backups cannot be restored to an alternate server.

Before proceeding, ensure that the following requirements are met:

•
Same version of Domino installed: The Domino version must be same as the version running on the existing Domino Server. In addition, the server platform must be the same and the operating systems on both servers must be compatible. For example, if the source server was running Windows, the target server must also run Windows.
•
Properly configured Domino Instance: Verify that you have a properly configured Domino instance.
•
NetVault Backup software and the Plug‑in for Domino installed: The same version of NetVault Backup software and the Plug‑in for Domino must be installed and configured on the new restore target.
•
Heterogeneous Client added to the NetVault Backup Server: The target server must be added as a Heterogeneous Client to the NetVault Backup Server. You can perform this task from the Manage Clients page of the NetVault Backup WebUI.
•
Recent Full Backup available: Ensure that a recent Full Backup is available. Restore to an alternate Domino Server is completed using a Full Backup of the databases being restored. Nonlogged databases can be restored from an Incremental Backup because for such databases, an Incremental Backup actually includes the full contents of the database. For logged databases, Incremental Backups are not supported when restoring to an alternate server.

To restore the data to an alternate client, perform the following steps.

1
Select the data to restore.
For details, see Selecting data for a restore.
2
Click the Rollforward tab, and do one of the following in the Recovery and Rollforward section:
•
If a Domino Database with the same name as the database being restored exists on the alternate Domino Server, clear the Last Backup Set check box.
•
If a Domino Database with the same name does not exist on the alternate Domino Server, select the Last Backup Set check box.
Because this option rolls forward the restored database on the alternate Domino Server and the roll-forward process applies the Transaction Logs that reside on the alternate server, you do not want this server to contain any Transaction Logs for the database being restored. A roll-forward recovery fails if a Domino Database with the same name as the database being restored exists on the alternate Domino Server and you select this option. This failure happens because the Transaction Logs do not belong to the database being restored.
3
Configure the DAOS options, if necessary.
For details, see Configuring DAOS restore options.
4
In the Target Client list, select the machine on which you want to restore the data.
5
Complete and submit the job.
For details, see Finalizing and submitting the job.

Performing a disaster recovery to the same Domino Server

You can use the Plug‑in for Domino to perform a disaster recovery to the same server where the source Domino Server resided.

* 
IMPORTANT: You might use this procedure if a a complete media failure occurred and either the damaged host was rebuilt using the same configuration or a new server was configured that imitates the original host’s configuration.

Before proceeding, ensure that the following requirements are met:

•
Domino software installed: Install the same OS and version of Domino on the system that existed on the damaged server.
* 
NOTE: Only run the software installation steps. Do not set up the Domino Server.
•
NetVault Backup software and the Plug‑in for Domino installed: The same version of NetVault Backup software and the Plug‑in for Domino must be installed and configured on the new restore target.
•
Heterogeneous Client added to the NetVault Backup Server: The target server must be added as a Heterogeneous Client to the NetVault Backup Server. You can perform this task from the Manage Clients page of the NetVault Backup WebUI.
•
Full and Incremental Backups available: Ensure that the recent Full Backup and the required Incremental Backups are available.

To restore the data to the repaired server, perform the following steps.

1
In the Navigation pane of the NetVault Backup WebUI on the NetVault Backup Server, click Create Restore Job.
2
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select Plug‑in for Domino from the Plugin Type list.
3
Select the required data from a recent Full Backup created for the original Domino Server.
For details, see Selecting data for a restore.
Quest recommends that you restore the items in the following order:
•
Initialization file, identification files, mail databases, and mail-configuration file
•
Template files
•
Server databases
•
User-mailbox items and the DAOS repository
4
Complete and submit each job.
For details, see Finalizing and submitting the job.
5
Restore the Incremental Backups as required.
When restoring the last saveset, select the Last Backup Set check box and the Hard Recovery option. If Incremental Backups are not restored, the Domino Server re-creates any necessary Transaction Logs.
6
Restart the Domino Server.
* 
IMPORTANT: After a disaster recovery, Quest recommends that you perform a Full Backup of the Domino Server.
