Selecting data for a restore

1
In the Navigation pane, click Create Restore Job.
2
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select Plug‑in for MongoDB from the Plugin Type list.
3
To filter the items displayed in the saveset table, click Filter .
The table displays the saveset name (job title and saveset ID), creation date and time, and size. By default, the list is sorted by creation date.
4
In the saveset table, select the applicable saveset to display the database cluster that was the target of the backup.
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.
5
Click Restore.
6
On the Create Selection Set page, select the data that you want to restore.
7
To view the databases included in the backup, open All Databases.
8
For next-level selections, drill down further.
9
Select the database as required.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: BLOBs included in the backup are displayed as a separate node, and not beneath the associated table. Selecting this node restores all BLOBs contained in the saveset and not just objects associated with the selected table. Also note that, to restore BLOBs, this node must be selected explicitly, that is, either this node or the parent database node must be selected. Selecting only the table does not restore the associated BLOBs.

Selecting a target server

With NetVault Backup Plug‑in for MongoDB, you have the option to restore a database to its original location or to a different server. You can also change the name of the restored database regardless of the selected destination.

1
On the Create Select Set page, complete one of the following options:
•
To restore the database to the original location with the original name, go to Finalizing and submitting the job.
•
To restore the database to a different location or rename the database, right-click on the database and then click Rename.
2
In the Rename / Relocate window, enter the following information:
•
Rename: If you want to change the name of the restored database, enter the new name.
•
Relocate: If you want to restore the database to a different location, enter the name or IP address of the new location.
If you are relocating the database, complete the following actions:
•
Enter the IP address for the primary node.
•
Verify that the Plug‑in for MongoDB is configured and the MongoDB software installed on the alternate host.
If you are relocating or renaming the database, complete the following action:
•
Name the database a different name from any databases that exist on the destination host, otherwise the restore fails. In the case when you restore or rename multiple databases and one database has the same name as a database that exists on the destination host, the operation succeeds with a warning.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: If you use the Rename or Relocation options to restore a database that has sharding enabled, the database restores without sharding enabled. To enable sharding for the restored database, refer to your MongoDB instructions.

Click OK.

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 Plug-ins. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Administrator’s Guide.

1
On the Create Select Set page, click Next.
2
On the Create Restore Job page, 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 Administrator’s Guide.
