NetVault Plug-in for Domino 4.4 - User Guide

Advanced restore procedures

This topic describes the advanced restore operations that can be performed using Plug‑in for Domino.

Renaming and relocating data during restore

The plug-in lets you rename or relocate a server database, template, or individual mailboxes during a restore. You can use this feature to create a copy of an item, or move it to an alternate location with the same name or a new name.

1
In the Navigation pane, click Create Restore Job, select Plug‑in for Domino from the Plugin Type list, select the applicable saveset, and click Next.
2
On the Create Selection Set page, select the item that you want to rename or relocate.
3
From the Actions list, select Rename.
4
In the Rename/Relocate dialog box, configure either or both of the following parameters, and click Ok.
Rename: Enter the new name.
Relocate: Enter the new path.
IMPORTANT: If you do not select the Last Backup Set option on the Rollforward tab, the database and the mailboxes are restored to the path specified in the Tmp Directory for Recovery field.

Restoring data to an alternate server

The Plug‑in for Domino can be used to restore Full Backups to an alternate Domino Server. This procedure can be used to copy a database from one production server to a different production server.

Before proceeding, ensure that the following requirements are met:

Same version of Domino installed: The Domino version must be same as the version running on the existing Domino Server. In addition, the server platform must be the same and the operating systems on both servers must be compatible. For example, if the source server was running Windows, the target server must also run Windows.
Properly configured Domino Instance: Verify that you have a properly configured Domino instance.
NetVault Backup software and the Plug‑in for Domino installed: The same version of NetVault Backup software and the Plug‑in for Domino must be installed and configured on the new restore target.
Heterogeneous Client added to the NetVault Backup Server: The target server must be added as a Heterogeneous Client to the NetVault Backup Server. You can perform this task from the Manage Clients page of the NetVault Backup WebUI.
Recent Full Backup available: Ensure that a recent Full Backup is available. Restore to an alternate Domino Server is completed using a Full Backup of the databases being restored. Nonlogged databases can be restored from an Incremental Backup because for such databases, an Incremental Backup actually includes the full contents of the database. For logged databases, Incremental Backups are not supported when restoring to an alternate server.

To restore the data to an alternate client, perform the following steps.

Click the Rollforward tab, and do one of the following in the Recovery and Rollforward section:

In the Target Client list, select the machine on which you want to restore the data.

Performing a disaster recovery to the same Domino Server

You can use the Plug‑in for Domino to perform a disaster recovery to the same server where the source Domino Server resided.

Before proceeding, ensure that the following requirements are met:

Domino software installed: Install the same OS and version of Domino on the system that existed on the damaged server.
NetVault Backup software and the Plug‑in for Domino installed: The same version of NetVault Backup software and the Plug‑in for Domino must be installed and configured on the new restore target.
Heterogeneous Client added to the NetVault Backup Server: The target server must be added as a Heterogeneous Client to the NetVault Backup Server. You can perform this task from the Manage Clients page of the NetVault Backup WebUI.
Full and Incremental Backups available: Ensure that the recent Full Backup and the required Incremental Backups are available.

To restore the data to the repaired server, perform the following steps.

2
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select Plug‑in for Domino from the Plugin Type list.
When restoring the last saveset, select the Last Backup Set check box and the Hard Recovery option. If Incremental Backups are not restored, the Domino Server re-creates any necessary Transaction Logs.
