About restoring data

Restore refers to reconstructing all or part of a system from a backup.

You can perform a restore job for various reasons, such as the following:

•
To recover lost or deleted data
•
To recover database or files that have been corrupted
•
To copy or move data to a different database or directory
•
To recover to a previous point-in-time, if some operation goes wrong
•
To migrate data when upgrading to a new system
•
To copy or move data to a test or production server
•
To recover from media failure, OS corruption, or loss of physical system

The NetVault plug-ins integrate with the native APIs to restore and recover application-specific data from backups. Depending on the application type, these plug-ins provide different methods and options to restore data.

In general, NetVault offers the following restore features:

•
Full and selective restores
•
Disaster recovery
•
Restores to alternate location
•
Restores to alternate server
•

Restore job definition

To restore data, you need to create and submit a restore job. You can create a restore job definition from the Create Restore Job link in the Navigation pane.

A restore job definition includes the following components:

•
Selection list
•
Plug-in options
•
Target client name (when restoring to an alternate server)
•
Scheduling options
•
Source device options
•
Advanced restore options

These components are stored in NetVault Sets. For more information about NetVault Sets, see About NetVault Sets.

Each restore job has a Job ID number and a Job Name. The Job ID number is an auto-generated number. The Job Name is a user‑defined string that allows you to easily identify the job when monitoring its progress or viewing the job logs.

Creating restore jobs

You can use the restore job wizard to create and submit restore jobs. The wizard can be accessed from the Create Restore Job link in the Navigation pane.

To create a restore job:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Create Restore Job.
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, the saveset table provides a list of available savesets.
Figure 21. Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page

The table shows the saveset status, saveset name (Job Title and Saveset ID), selection set, plug-in, creation date and time, saveset size, and cataloged status.
The saveset status is indicated using the following icons.

The saveset list is sorted by creation date (newest to oldest). You can sort the list by one or more columns, as required. The arrowhead next to the column name indicates the sort order. For more information, see Sorting records in NetVault WebUI.
The Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page loads a maximum of 5000 records initially. The total number of records fetched is displayed at the lower-right corner of the table.
You can click Load more to load the next set of records, if available. Each load action fetches a maximum of 5000 records. This button is disabled if there are no more records to load.

To set the filter options, view the page size setting, change the sorting order in the table, export the records, or edit table settings, click the icons at the lower- right corner of the table. For more information, see Customizing tables in NetVault WebUI and Table 13).
You can use the Search option to filter the table data and quickly find entries that contain the specified string in any column values. You can also include wildcards (“?” or “*”) in the search filter string. For more information, see Searching for files in savesets.
