NetVault Plug-in for FileSystem 11.4 - User Guide

Performing System State Backups

To back up System State data:
1
Start the Backup Job Wizard.
2
In Job Name, specify a name for the job.
3
Click Create New next to the Selections list, and then on the NetVault Backup Selections page, open System State.
4
Select the data that you want to back up:
•
Back up System State data: To back up only the System State data, select System State.
•
Back up for disaster recovery: To use the backup for disaster recovery purposes, select Fixed Drive or C Drive and System State.
 
* 
NOTE: The Plug‑in for FileSystem lets you select individual System State components, but we recommend that you back up all System State components together.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: On Domain Controllers, you must always include C Drive in System State backups and restores. When you include the C Drive, all information about the Group Policy Objects (GPOs) is included during backups and restores.

If you back up or restore only the System State data, you cannot edit the GPOs that are restored from the backups. When you try to edit the restored GPO, the following error message is displayed:

“Failed to open the Group Policy Object. You may not have appropriate rights.”

5
Complete Step 4 through Step 6 in the section Performing Full Backups.
System State backups: Additional notes
•
Only the SYSVOL and System Files components can be truly included in an Incremental or a Differential Backup. The remaining components are always backed up in full regardless of the backup type you select. Similarly, when you perform a backup consolidation using the Plug-in for Consolidation, the new reference point only applies to the SYSVOL and System Files components.
•
On Windows Server 2008 and Windows 2008 R2, a fault in the VSS can cause the plug-in to randomly omit files from a System State Backup. This issue occurs when the ImagePath property for a service entry in the Windows Registry uses a forward slash character (“/”) or a relative path in the file path. This issue may also be observed in Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
To resolve this issue, you must identify and correct the invalid entries in the Windows Registry. You can use the Microsoft System Information (Msinfo32.exe) Tool and Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe) for this purpose.
To correct the registry entries:
1
Click Start on the taskbar. Point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Information.
Alternatively, click Start on the taskbar, and select Run. In the Run window, type msinfo32, and then click OK.
2
Under System Summary, click Software Environment, and then select Services.
3
Examine Path on the right-hand pane.
4
After identifying the invalid entries, open the Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe) to edit the ImagePath.
To open the registry editor, click Start on the taskbar, and select Run. In the Run window, type regedit, and then click OK.
5
In the Registry Editor window, locate the invalid entries. These entries are usually located under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services.
 
* 
NOTE: The ImagePath property stores the path to the executable program for a service. The path to the executable program can also be viewed on the General tab of the Services console which can be accessed from Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
6
Replace the forward slash character (“/”) with the backslash character (“\”), and change the relative paths to absolute paths.
•
On Windows 2008, if a System State Backup fails with the error “Failed to add extra items to the selection tree,” it could be due to the following reasons:
•
The VSS system writer is missing, modified, or in an unstable state.
•
The plug-in does not have sufficient permissions for enumerating or accessing the VSS writer.
•
The plug-in is forced to use the VSS writer provided by an application, such as SQL Server or Exchange Server.
For more information about this issue and possible solutions, see the KB article https://support.quest.com/kb/SOL81588.

Restoring data using the plug-in

To restore data using the plug-in:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Create Restore Job.
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, the saveset table provides a list of available savesets. The table shows the saveset name (Job Title and Saveset ID), creation date and time, saveset size, and saveset status.
The saveset status is indicated using the following icons.
 
Icon
Description

Saveset is online (all segments are online).

Saveset is partially online (some segments are online).

Saveset is offline (all segments are offline).

The saveset list is sorted alphabetically by saveset name. You can sort the list by a different column or reverse the sort order by clicking the column heading. The arrowhead next to the column name indicates the sort order.
You can click Load more to load the next set of records, if available. Each load action fetches a maximum of 5000 records. This button is disabled if there are no more records to load.
By default, the table is sorted by creation date and time. You can sort the table by one or more columns, as required.
NetVault Backup Plug‑in for FileSystem web application supports multiple-column sorting for the tables. However, the first sorted column takes the highest precedence over the sorting of other columns. For example, if the table is sorted by the ‘Start Time’ as the primary sort, selecting sort options on the ‘ID/ Instance/ Phase’ column does not affect the list order.
To sort by a column, click the column header; to change the sort direction, click the column header again. Repeat this step for other columns by which you want to sort the table.
The arrowhead next to the column name indicates the sorting order (up for ascending order and down for descending order). A blue arrowhead is used to indicate the sort order for the primary column.
To remove a sort, click the column header for the corresponding column until the arrowhead is no longer displayed.
To choose the following actions in a column, click the column menu:

Description

Overwrite Newer Files

By default, the plug-in overwrites existing files on the restore destination with the backed-up version in the saveset.

If you do not want to overwrite the existing files, clear this check box.

Reset File Timestamps

By default, timestamps for restored files are reset to what is recorded in the backup saveset.

To restore the files with current timestamp, clear the check box.

Reset Directory Timestamps

By default, directories are restored with current timestamp.

To reset the timestamp to what is recorded in the saveset, select this check box. To use this option, you must also select the Reset File Timestamps check box.

Attempt to Restore Hard Links

To re-establish the links when you restore hard-linked files, select this option. This check box is only available on the Linux and UNIX OS.

Restore Files Modified During Backup

To restore the files that were marked “in flux” during backup, select this check box.

Path to Restore Log

To generate a restore log file, type the filename. The log file provides a list of files that are selected for a restore. The files that are restored successfully are marked with an “o” and the others are marked with an “x.” If you specify an existing filename, the plug-in overwrites the file. The log file is created in CSV file format, and includes details such as file size, date modified, and file type.

Exclusion List Path

To use an exclusion list, type the full path to the file.

For more information about exclusion lists, see Exclusion lists.

Restore Meta Data

To restore the metadata on Linux and UNIX systems, select the appropriate option:

•
Compatible: By default, the plug-in restores the metadata only if it is compatible with the current file system. On Mac OS X, at least one of the following requirements must be met to use this option:
Both the backup source and the restore target should be running Mac OS X 10.4.0 or later.
Both the backup source and the restore target should be running the same major version of Mac OS X. For example, you can restore backups from Mac OS X 10.3.2 to 10.3.5.
•
Force: Select this option to force the plug-in to restore the metadata regardless of its compatibility with the current file system. On Mac OS X, the following requirements must be met to use this option:
- The backup should be from a Mac system.
- The backup should not be old.
•
Discard: If you do not want to restore the metadata, select this option.
6
Click OK to save the settings, and then click Next.
