Restoring filesystems backed up with NetBackup client

This section describes how you can restore filesystems (which are backed up using the NetBackup client) that get corrupted in the Access Appliance environment.

You can backup a filesystem with the NetBackup client using the backup fs add command. The backup of the filesystem is created on the NetBackup media server. If the filesystem goes corrupt and is destroyed, you can restore the filesystem.

To restore a corrupted filesystem

  1. Create a new filesystem. You can use the same name as that of the existing filesystem if a filesystem with that name is no longer present, else use a different name.
  2. Add the filesystem back to the NetBackup client's backup filesystem configuration using the backup fs add fs_name command.
  3. Restore the data backed up from the filesystem to the respective path on the new filesystem.

To restore the MSDP catalog filesystem

  • Restore the MSDP catalog filesystem.

    If the NetBackup client is enabled with deduplication catalog backup and the catalog filesystem goes corrupt, you will need to format the catalog filesystem.

    • Disable the catalog backup.

      backup> dedupe-catalog disable

    • Format the catalog filesystem or re-create it with the same name.

    • Add the catalog filesystem as a backup filesystem.

      backup> fs add fs_name

    • From the deduplication catalog backup, restore the content that was backed up to /vx/<catalog_fs>/dedupe/databases by selecting Restore to a different location on the NetBackup primary.

    • Enable the deduplication catalog to continue backing up the deduplication catalog.

       backup> dedupe-catalog enable

      Note:

      In case the MSDP catalog filesystem is destroyed, ensure that a new filesystem is created with same name as the old MSDP catalog filesystem. You can then follow the steps to add, restore and enable the catalog filesystem.
