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.

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 Dell DR Series System Command Line Reference Guide.

Understanding RDA with OST

Understanding RDA with OST

OpenStorage Technology (OST) provides the logical disk interface that can be used with network storage devices, and the DR Series system appliance requires RDA with OST plug-in software to integrate its data storage operations with supported data management applications (DMAs). For details on the applications supported, see the Dell DR Series System Interoperability Guide.

The DR Series system integrates with supported DMAs using the RDA with OST plug-in, through which DMAs can control when backup images are created, duplicated, and deleted. Via the plug-in, the DMAs can take full advantage of key DR Series system features like replication and data deduplication.

The DR Series system accesses the OpenStorage API code through the RDA with OST plug-in, which can be installed on the supported media server platform type that you choose (Windows or Linux). When RDA with OST is used with the DR Series system, it offers the following benefits:

RDA with OST protocol provides faster and improved data transfers:
◦
Focus is on backups with minimal overhead
◦
Accommodates larger data transfer sizes
◦
Provides throughput that is significantly better than CIFS or NFS
•
RDA with OST and DMA integration:
◦
OpenStorage API enables the DMA-to-media server software communication
◦
DR Series system storage capabilities can be used without extensive changes to DMAs
◦
Backup and replication operations are simplified by using built-in DMA policies
•
DR Series system and RDA with OST ports and write operations:
◦
Control channel uses TCP port 10011
◦
Data channel uses TCP port 11000
◦
Optimized write operations enable client-side deduplication
•
Replication operations between DR Series systems:
◦
No configuration is required on the source or target DR Series system
◦
Replication is file-based, not container-based
◦
Replication is triggered by DMA optimized duplication operation
◦
DR Series system transfers the data file (not the media server)
◦
Once duplication completes, DR Series system notifies DMA to update its catalog (acknowledging the second backup)
◦
Supports different retention policies between source and replica
◦
Replication is set up in the DMA itself, not the DR Series system
