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 Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

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 contain non-Latin characters. On Linux, the name 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 Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

Recovering the database

After restoring the datafiles, you can choose to recover the database, tablespace, or datafile.

1
Connect to the database with SYSDBA privileges by using the SQL*Plus utility.
SQLPLUS SYS AS SYSDBA
2
Run one of following commands based on the required result:
•
To recover a whole database, enter:
RECOVER DATABASE
•
To recover a specific tablespace, enter:
RECOVER TABLESPACE <Tablespace Name>
•
To recover a specific datafile, enter:
RECOVER DATAFILE '<datafile name with complete path>';
The database notifies you when media recovery is complete:
Media recovery complete.

Opening the database for use

After recovery terminates, open the database for use by issuing the following command at the SQL*Plus prompt:

ALTER DATABASE OPEN;

Using advanced User Managed restore procedures

With the User Managed backup method, Plug‑in for Oracle lets you rename the Control File, Datafiles, and Archive Log Directory or Individual Archived Log files during restore. Renaming files can be useful if you do not want to overwrite the existing version and want to create a copy of the file. You can also relocate the files to a different directory while restoring it with the plug-in.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: Renaming of data is not supported when restoring Users Managed backups to a raw device. This option can only be used if you are restoring a User Managed backup to file system storage.

The following topics describe advanced User Managed restores and provide more information regarding additional features that are available:

•
Renaming or relocating Control File, Datafile, or individual Archived Log files
•
Renaming or relocating the Archive Log Directory
