NetVault Bare Metal Recovery 10.5 - User Guide for NetVault Backup Server

Recovering the source NetVault Backup Server

The final step in the recovery process is to restore the offline backup of the original NetVault Backup Server to the new or target NetVault Backup Server. To recover the server, complete steps outlined in the following sections.
•
Prerequisites
•
Selecting data for a restore
•
Setting restore options
•
Finalizing and submitting the job
 
* 
WARNING:Even if there is no difference between the system devices in a backup and a restore, the order of the disks might be different. If the restored data is started without performing a rename, any data that exists on the disks is lost. To compare the information of physical disk at backup and restore, note the Disk Geometry and Device Size at backup.

For version 1.1.6 and later, also compare the Disk ID of the targeted disk on the Create Selection Set page to the Disk ID of the same disk on the NetVault Backup Selections page.

Dell strongly recommends that you disconnect all disks that contain critical data from the server before you boot NetVault Bare Metal Recovery for NetVault Backup Server.
Prerequisites
A DR restore procedure is a delicate operation. Before setting up and running a DR restore, ensure that the following prerequisites have been met:
•
Ensure that device filenames match: The target device name on the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client (for example, Disk 0 (IDE)) must be the same as it was at the time of backup.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: When relocating a DR backup, ensure that the hard disk installed on the new relocation target has the same name as the hard disk that existed in the original target.
•
Gather noted Device Size and Disk Geometry information: This information should have been noted before the backup. Have this information handy to complete the restore properly.
Selecting data for a restore
To select data to restore:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Create Restore Job.
2
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select VaultDR APM from the Plugin Type list.
3
To filter the items displayed in the saveset table further, use the Client, Date, and Job ID lists.
The table displays the saveset name (Job Title and Saveset ID), creation date and time, and size. By default, the list is sorted alphabetically by saveset name.
4
In the saveset table, select the applicable item.
When you select a saveset, the following details are displayed in the Saveset Information area: Job ID, Job Title, server name, client name, plug-in name, saveset date and time, retirement setting, Incremental Backup or not, Archive or not, and saveset size.
5
Click Next.
6
On the Create Selection Set page, select the data that you want to restore.
Select a single disk, all disks, all partitions, or a single partition of each disk to restore.

Setting restore options

On the Create Selection Set page, click Edit Plugin Options, and configure the following parameters on the Options tab:
•
Ensure that Physical Machine is the selected Restore Type.
•
In the Restore Name box of the Physical Recovery Options section, verify that the correct name appears.
By default, the value in this field is the name of the NetVault Backup Server from which this backup was originally performed (based on the backup saveset selected from the Create Selection Set page). This name is associated with a specific IP address that was previously configured. If this value is left at its default setting, selected data is restored to a machine that uses the same information as the machine that was originally backed up.

Finalizing and submitting the job

The final steps include setting additional options on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options pages, submitting the job, and monitoring the progress through the Job Status and View Logs pages. These pages and options are common to all NetVault Backup Plug-ins. For more information, see the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
To finalize and submit a restore job:
1
Click Ok to save the settings, and then click Next.
2
In Job Name, specify a name for the job if you do not want to use the default setting.
Assign a descriptive name that lets you easily identify the job when monitoring its progress. The job name can contain alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters, but it cannot include non-English characters. On Linux®, the names can have a maximum of 200 characters. On Windows®, there is no length restriction. However, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended on all platforms.
3
In the Target Client list, select the machine on which you want to restore the data.
 
* 
TIP: You can also click Choose, and then locate and select the applicable client in the Choose the Target Client dialog box.
4
Use the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options lists to configure any additional required options.
5
Click Save or Save & Submit, whichever is applicable.
You can monitor progress on the Job Status page and view the logs on the View Logs page. For more information, see the Dell NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
