Restoring data

Restoring a Standard Backup

Before initiating a restore, the target volume must be configured as restricted. On Clustered Data ONTAP 8.3, the target volume must be of type Data Protection (DP) and this volume must be in restricted state.

You can also change the volume status from the NetApp web interface. For more information, see the relevant NetApp documentation.

NDMP Server

This option specifies the target filer name. It is only required when you want to restore data to an alternate filer. By default, it is set to the name of the original filer from which the data was backed up. Do not change the NDMP Server while restoring data to the same filer.

Break Mirror on Exit

When a snapshot is restored to a volume, a SnapMirror Relationship is established for the volume and the volume is marked as read-only. After the restore job is completed successfully, you must break the relationship and mark the volume as writable.

Select the Break Mirror on Exit check box.

For more information, see Restore procedure. When restoring the Incremental Backups, do not select the Break Mirror on Exit check box
IMPORTANT: When restoring the Full or Incremental Backups, if you select the Break Mirror on Exit check box or issue the snapmirror break statement, you cannot restore any additional Incremental Backups in the backup sequence.

A volume must be in a SnapMirror Relationship to restore the Incremental Backups. If you break the SnapMirror Relationship before restoring all Incremental Backups, restore the Full Backup again, and then restore the applicable Incremental Backups.
