Recover a single recovery point
Perform a recovery of a single recovery point when you want to restore backup images in separate restore operations.
To restore to a different server (host), the following requirements exist.
RBAC permissions to restore to an alternate location.
Refer to the information on configuring host mappings in the NetBackup Web UI Administrator's guide. Or, contact your NetBackup administrator for assistance.
NetBackup must have the ability to communicate with the destination client.
To recover a single recovery point
- On the left, select Workloads > Microsoft SQL Server.
- On the Databases tab, locate the database that you want to restore.
The Host name for the database differs depending on how the instance or the host is protected.
A database that is part of a SQL Server cluster
The Host name is the virtual name of the SQL Server cluster.
A database that is part of a SQL Server failover cluster instance (FCI)
The Host name is one of the following:
The cluster name of the FCI
The physical node names of the FCI
A SQL Server host that uses multiple NICs
The Host name is one of the following:
The private interface name of the SQL Server host
The the private interface name of the virtual SQL Server
- Click Actions > Recover.
- On the Recovery points tab, locate the full, differential, or transaction log that you want to restore.
By default NetBackup uses the primary copy. To select a different copy, click Copies.
- Select Actions > Restore single recovery point.
- (Conditional) For a transaction log image, select one of the following options and click Next.
Recovery point selected
Restore the database to the time indicated.
Point in time
Select a different point in time to which you want to restore the database.
Transaction log mark
Choose whether to restore at or before the transaction mark.
Enter the name of the transaction mark.
To select a transaction mark that occurs after a certain date, select After specific date and time. Then specify the date and time.
- Select the host, instance, and database for recovery. You have the following options.
Restore to the original host, instance, and database.
Restore to a different instance.
Type the name in the Instance field.
Select a different host and instance,
Click Change instance.
Restore to a different database.
Type the name in the Database name field.
- Select the path to which you want to restore the database files. You have the following options:
Restore everything to the original directory
Restores all the files to the original directory that was backed up.
Restore everything to a different directory
Restores all the files to the directory that you enter in the Directory for restore field.
Restore files to different paths
Restores the individual files to the path that you enter. Click Edit file paths and click on any directory path to edit the restore path for that file.
