Selecting data for a restore

1
If you are performing an Incremental or Differential restore, take the database offline to prevent an error from occurring.
For more information, see Restoring Incremental and Differential Backups.
2
If you are restoring a master database, see Restoring the master database for more information.
3
In the Navigation pane of the NetVault Backup WebUI on the NetVault Backup Server, click Create Restore Job.
4
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select Plug‑in for Sybase from the Plugin Type list.
5
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.
6
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, saveset size, and snapshot-based backup or not.
7
Click Next.
8
On the Create Selection Set page, select the data that you want to restore.
You can select an entire Sybase Server item from this level of the tree. Selected in this manner, all items included in this particular backup are restored. For example, if an entire Sybase Server was backed up in this backup saveset, all this data is restored. Also, if only selected databases were included in the backup, all these individually selected databases are restored.
9
If you want to perform a more detailed restore, that is, you do not want to restore all backed-up data, open the Sybase Server, and select the applicable databases to restore.

Setting restore options

On the Create Selection Set page, click Edit Plugin Options, and configure the following parameters on the Options tab:

•
Account: Enter the account name for the selected server that has the appropriate access for restore. By default, the value entered in the Default Account Name field of the Configure dialog box is displayed in this field.
•
Password: Enter the password value associated with the specified account.
* 
IMPORTANT: The Account Name used for the restore must have an associated Sybase password; that is, a password must have been set up for the account and this value must appear in the Password field of the Options tab. Using an Account Name that does not have an associated password causes the restore job to fail.

Entries in the Password field are case-sensitive.
•
Target Server: If it is necessary to relocate a restore to a different Sybase Server instance, enter the name of the Sybase Server to which the restore should be sent. By default, the name of the Sybase Server from which this backup was initially taken is displayed in this field. For more information, see Restoring a database to a new location (relocation).
•
Backup Type: This field shows the type of backup that was performed for the selected backup saveset, for example, FULL, INCREMENTAL, or DIFFERENTIAL.

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
To save the settings, click Ok, 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 nonalphanumeric 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.
