Restore SQL Server when you have multiple NICs (NetBackup MS SQL Client)

To restore a SQL Server in a multi-NIC environment with the NetBackup MS SQL Client, you need to do the following:

  • Connect to SQL Server host using the public name of the host.

  • To browse for backup images, specify the public name of the SQL Server for the SQL Host name. Specify the private name of the SQL Server for the Source Client.

If you use SQL Server policies in a cluster environment, you must follow a different procedure:

To restore SQL Server when you have multiple NICs

  1. Open the NetBackup MS SQL Client.
  2. Select File > Set SQL Server connection properties.
  3. In the Host box, specify the public name of the SQL Server host.
  4. Select OK.
  5. Select File > Restore SQL Server objects.
  6. In the SQL Host box, specify the public name of the SQL Server host (sqlhost1).
  7. In the Source Client box, specify the private interface name of the SQL Server host (sqlhost1-NB).
  8. Select OK.

    A dialog box opens that shows the SQL Server backups that the SQL Host made on the private network interface.

  9. Continue with the restore as normal.
