About restoring a HBase cluster

Use NetBackup web UI to manage restore operations.

Table: Restoring HBase data

Task

Reference

Process understanding

See Restoring HBase data.

Complete the pre-requisites for Kerberos

See Pre-requisite for running backup and restore operations for a HBase cluster with Kerberos authentication.

Restoring HBase data on the same Hprimary or HBase cluster

Restoring HBase data to an alternate Hprimary or HBase cluster

This task can be performed only using the bprestore command.

See Restoring HBase data on an alternate HBase cluster.

HBase has a limitation to restore truncated tables. As a workaround, you must restore to archive path.

See Restoring truncated tables.

Best practices

See Best practices for restoring a HBase cluster.

Troubleshooting tips

See About NetBackup for HBase debug logging.

Considerations

When you restoring disabled table, the table will be enabled after successful restore.
