NetBackup Client Configuration

SQL Restore
To do a SQL restore we have to launch Netbackup MS SQL Client from a SQL
server I usually do all restores to Cbicdg-Votan then export the database and copy it to
the user location.

Next we want to configure the SQL properties to do the restore. Click on File,
Restore SQL Server Objects.

This is what the script would look like if we were restoring it to cbicdg-Votan.
Data would be on E:\Patches and the new database name would be test restore. The lines
in orange were modified then the script was saved.

Once the script configured we need to go back to the NetBackup

Administration Console to create the job that calls this script. Go to policies and select
the DB-MSSQL-DB-restore-Full policy. You will notice that Cbicdg-Votan is all ready a
client of this group so we won’t have to add it. Right click the Backup selection on the
bottom and choose change.

Now we have to take out the old script name and put in the new script name
called testrestore.bch. and select OK.

Now right click on the policy and click on Activate. Then right click on the policy
and select manual backup. Then click OK and the job will start running you can monitor
it from the Activity Monitor. When the restore is finished set the Policy back to
Deactivated by right clicking the policy.
