Restoring a database from a backup

Use the NetBackup Database Administration utility to restore a database from a backup copy.

The restore overwrites the current database. The database is shut down and restarted after the restore is completed.

A database restore causes NetBackup activity to be suspended, so do not perform a database restore while active backups or other restores run.

Note:

Using the Database Administration utility to back up and restore the NetBackup database can potentially break the consistency between the NetBackup catalog and the database. This loss of consistency can lead to loss of data. Use the tool to back up and restore the NetBackup database only as a precautionary measure.

To restore a database from a backup

  1. Start the NetBackup Database Administration utility and enter the database logon password. Click OK.
  2. Select the Tools tab.
  3. Click Restore.
  4. Browse to the directory that contains the backup database.
  5. Click OK.
