About processing the relational database in staging
A recovery of the NetBackup image files and configuration files also restores the NetBackup relational database (NBDB) to the staging directory. You can use the following NetBackup commands to further process the NBDB database if required:
cat_import | Use cat_import to import the image metadata that is in the legacy flat file format into an NBDB relational database. The NBDB database can be the actual production DB or an NBDB in a different NetBackup domain. |
cat_export | Use cat_export - staging to extract the image metadata from the relational database. It writes the data to the |
nbdb_restore -staging | Use nbdb_restore -staging to recover the relational database from the staging directory. See Recovering the NetBackup relational database files from staging. |
nbdb_unload -staging | Use nbdb_unload - staging to unload the media table and related tables to a set of flat files. Then, you can use SQL tools to insert the subset of data into another NBDB. Another NBDB can be the actual production DB or an NBDB in a different NetBackup domain. |
Warning:
Veritas recommends that you manipulate or process the NetBackup relational database only when directed to do so by a Veritas Support Representative. For help with NetBackup domain merges and splits, contact the Veritas Information Management Consulting Services:
