Recovering PaaS assets

PaaS assets are listed under the Cloud workload. You can restore Amazon RDS assets from the Applications tab. All other PaaS assets are available for restore from the PaaS tab. Recovery flows for Azure assets are different, based on whether they are NetBackup protected or Azure protected.

In NetBackup 10.3 and later, you can separately restore the data or schema and the metadata for the MySQL database. You need superuser privileges for the metadata restore and at least one media server at version 10.2 or later.

Note:

For a MySQL restore, if you do not have admin or root user privileges, then you must have the view permission, along with the restore permissions.

PaaS assets support instant access during recovery. Instant access enables faster access to data and reduces overall recovery time.

Before performing instant access recovery ensure to add the key: MEDIA_SERVER_POD_CIDR in the bp.conf file of the primary server. For NetBackup deployed in the AKS or EKS environment, set its value to the subnets of the media server pod, as comma-separated values. For example: MEDIA_SERVER_POD_CIDR=10.0.0.0/8, 10.0.0.0/16

Note:

While viewing PaaS restore jobs in the Activity monitor, the fields Bytes transferred and Estimated bytes remaining, may not indicate correct information. You can look at the number of Files written for the correct status, and the NetBackup logs.
