Restoring data with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

The restore of data backed up with the Plug-in Live Client is handled by the Plug-in Server. Backups performed using the Plug-in Live Client are revealed beneath the Plug-in Server node , labeled “VaultDR APM,” on the Create Selection Set page of the NetVault Backup WebUI.

The topics that follow illustrate all the procedures required to perform a restore of a Plug-in Live Client backup.

Restoring to a physical machine with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

The following topic details the procedure required to recover a Plug-in Live Client backup to a physical machine with the same hardware specifications as the machine used for the backup.

Prerequisites for restoring to a physical machine with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

The restore procedure for a Plug-in Live Client backup is a delicate operation. Before setting up and running a restore, the following prerequisites must be met.

Volumes that are encrypted using BitLocker on Windows Server 2008 clients and later lose encryption after restore. If you are using BitLocker, enable encryption again when you restore the machine.

Windows uses VSS persistent snapshots to implement shadow copies in Windows Server 2008 and later. When restored, Windows does not properly recognize these shadow copies. They can become orphaned and consume disk space.

Microsoft does not recommend backing up shadow copies. However, the Plug-in Live Client performs backups at the block level so there is no way to prevent the backup of snapshot files. Manually delete the snapshot files and enable shadow copies on the recovered volume again.

For instructions on deleting shadow copies, see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776119.aspx

For instructions on enabling shadow copies, see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776483.aspx

In addition, Quest recommends limiting the amount of space allocated to shadow copies to 300 megabytes (MB). This step deletes the cache files. Alternatively, disable shadow copies.

For more information on Microsoft-recommended best practices for shadow copies, see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753975.aspx

Windows Server 2008 and later automatically assigns drive letters to new-found partitions following a restore. This behavior can be controlled by using the diskpart.exe command. For more information, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773140.aspx.

The target device name on the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, for example, “Disk 0 (IDE),” must be the same as it was at the time of backup.

Boot the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the Plug-in Offline Client to prepare it for the restore of a DR image. To complete the boot routine, perform the steps covered in Booting a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with Plug-in Offline Client.

Have the information noted in Verifying Disk Geometry and Device Size for use with Plug-in Live Client for Windows handy to complete the restore. This information helps ensure that you back up the correct data.

The NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client machine that is to serve as a target for the restore must be accessible to the Plug-in Server. The topic that follows outlines the required steps for this verification.

2
Access the NetVault Backup Backup window to verify that the applicable client machine has been added as a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client.
c
When the Edit Bare Metal Recovery Client dialog box is displayed, verify that the data is correct or change it as required.
4
Close the NetVault Backup Backup window of the Plug-in Server, and continue to the Restore procedure for restoring data with Plug-in Live Client for Windows topic.

Restore procedure for restoring data with Plug-in Live Client for Windows

The following topics illustrate how to restore a Plug-in Live Client backup to a physical machine.

3
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select Plug-in Server from the Plugin Type list.
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
On the Create Selection Set page, locate each applicable disk, and click the box to its left to select it for a restore.
8
Click Next.
1
On the Create Selection Set page, click Edit Plugin Options, and select Physical Machine — the default — as the Restore Type.
On the Create Selection Set page, click Edit Plugin Options, and select Physical Machine — the default — as the Restore Type.
When Physical Machine is selected, the Physical Recovery Options frame containing the Restore Name field is shown. The default is the NetVault Backup name for the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client from which this backup was originally performed (based on the saveset selected on the Create Selection Set page). This name is associated with the client created under the Plug-in Server. You can use this field to relocate restored data to a standby NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, if necessary. For complete details on this procedure and the use of this option, see Using Plug-in Offline Client to recover data to a standby NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client.
Inject Boot-Critical Device Driver: If you are restoring to different hardware that also uses a different mass storage controller, select this option. After you select this option, the Boot-Critical Driver Directory and Driver Injection Only options are available.
Boot-Critical Driver Directory: If you selected the Inject Boot-Critical Device Driver option, enter the complete path to the local drive where the drivers for the mass storage controller are stored.
Driver Injection Only: If you previously completed a restore but pointed to an incorrect location in the Boot-Critical Driver Directory field, select this option to run the driver-injection portion of the restore process again. This option eliminates the need to restore the data again, but lets you inject the correct drivers. Check that you enter the correct path in the Boot-Critical Driver Directory field. By default, the Inject Boot-Critical Device Driver option remains selected; do not clear it as this option prevents the Driver Injection Only option from working.

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.
3
In the Target Client list, select the NetVault Backup Server from the list of machines; restores of Plug-in Live Client backups must be routed through the NetVault Backup Server.
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 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.
When entering a name in the Restore Name field, ensure that the value used is the NetVault Backup machine name for the target machine, taking case sensitivity into account. The NetVault Backup machine name can be found in the Manage Clients page.
As mentioned earlier, route a restore of this type through the NetVault Backup Server to use its locally installed Plug-in Server components. This step writes all restored data to the machine named in the Restore Name field, not to the NetVault Backup Server.
