NetVault Plug-in for FileSystem 13.1 - User Guide

Restoring data to an alternate client

During restore, you can relocate a backup to an alternate client. This procedure can be useful during a server migration or disaster recovery operation.

Prerequisites

Before you start the restore procedure, verify that the following requirements are met:

•
Install the NetVault Server or Client software on the target client. The software version must be the same as or higher than the original server or client.
•
Add the target client to the NetVault Server.
Restore procedure
To relocate data to an alternate client:
1
Complete Step 1 through Step 6 in Restoring data using the plug-in.
2
In the Target Client list, select the restore target.
Alternatively, click Choose, and in the Choose the Target Client dialog box, select the restore target. Click OK to close the dialog box.
3
Complete Step 8 and Step 9 in Restoring data using the plug-in.
 
* 
NOTE: You can also use the Rename and Relocate options while restoring data to an alternate client. For more information about these options, see Renaming and relocating data during restore.

About System State restore

System State restore allows you to recover a functional system without reinstalling the Windows operating system. It can be useful when you want to perform the following:

•
Perform a rollback (for example, overwrite the corrupted system data)
•
Perform a disaster recovery

Typically, when you perform a System State restore, all components are restored to their original location. However, the NetVault also allows you to restore the System State data to an alternate directory without affecting the active system. Restoring System State in a situation other than system recovery is not recommended.

While restoring the System State data on a Domain Controller, you need to select a method for restoring distributed services like Active Directory and SYSVOL. The restore method determines whether the restored data gets replicated to other servers or not. The method you choose depends on the number and configuration of Domain Controllers in your environment.

System State restore considerations

Consider the following when restoring system state backups to a second system:

•
The System State Backups can only be restored to the same system or an alternate system with the same hardware (that is, same make, model, and configuration). There should not be any driver, hardware, or firmware differences between the source and destination systems.
•
On Windows 2012, Windows 2008, and Windows 2008 R2, System State recovery is only supported on the same operating system instance. It is not supported on a reinstalled operating system on the same or different hardware.
•
Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) and System State Recovery have different objectives.
•
The NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Plug-ins use VSS to take a snapshot of a bootable volume (for example, C:\), and back up that volume at block level. There is no file system awareness during this process. During restore, the system is booted in an offline state using WinPE (preferred) or the Linux-based VaultOS, and the bootable volume (C:\) data is restored at block level. This method is recommended to recover a system that is in unbootable state, or to perform a full system recovery to an alternate system
•
System State Recovery recovers the System Registry, COM + Database, Certificate Services, Active Directory, SysVol, and other system state components to a previous known state. Problems can occur when you use a backup of C drive and System State to perform a full restore to an alternate system.
