Selecting data for a restore with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

2
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select Plug-in Live Client for Linux from the Plugin Type list.
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, saveset size, and snapshot-based backup or not.
6
Locate the “linuxboot.iso” file, and select it for recovery.
IMPORTANT: Only include the “linuxboot.iso” file in this recovery job. Any other items selected for recovery during this procedure are not successfully restored.
7
Click Next.

Finalizing and submitting a restore with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

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 Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

1
In Job Name, specify a name for the job.
2
In the Target Client list, select the NetVault Backup Server as the target for the restore.
TIP: You can also click Choose, and then locate and select the applicable client in the Choose the Target Client dialog box.
3
Leave all other options available on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options lists at their default settings.
4
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 Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
The file is recovered to …/tmp directory on the NetVault Backup Server, where represents the NetVault Backup installation directory.
IMPORTANT: Recovery of the Boot Image information, regardless of the Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client it was performed from, creates a CD-creation file entitled “linuxboot.iso” in the …/tmp directory. If Boot Image information is recovered from an additional Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client using these steps, its “linuxboot.iso” file is restored and overwrites any file of the same name in this directory without warning. Therefore, Quest recommends that you complete this process for a single Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, before you try to recover backed-up Boot Image information from an additional Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client.
6
Start the CD-generation software, access the “linuxboot.iso” file that resides in the directory named in Step 1, and create the CD using the necessary utilities within the CD-generation software.
IMPORTANT: Provided the hardware configuration in the target Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client does not change, this CD can be saved for future use in booting the client for the recovery of future DR images recorded with this plug-in. However, if new networking hardware is implemented or the device driver files in the client machine change any time, the Boot Image data for the client must be backed up again and this procedure must be repeated to create a CD.

The Boot CD is unable to load devices for which proper driver files are not incorporated in the Boot Image backup. Quest recommends that you test the boot media on the target Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client for successful loading of all the devices during boot up process.

Recovering a DR image for use with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

The steps required to recover a DR image performed with the Plug-in Live Client for Linux vary based on how the data was originally managed during backup. The following topics cover the processes required to complete each of these steps.

The Plug-in Live Client for Linux can only process one restore at a time.

The recovery process modifies some of the files. Original copies of the modified files are stored in: /storix/temp/storix_install

Restoring data using a DR image with Plug-in Live Client for Linux

As noted in the previous topic, you must first set up a recovery job for a Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client from the NetVault Backup WebUI on the NetVault Backup Server. You must also start this job before you try to boot the Linux NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the created CD.
