HP XP P9000 Replication Manager Software 7.6.0-00 Application Agent CLI User Guide

Rolling forward the transaction logs at the time of restoration
This section describes the procedure for restoring only a specific Information Store in the storage
group that was backed up from the primary volume to the secondary volume using VSS, and rolling
forward transaction logs.
To perform restoration of data from a VSS backup, the Protection Manager service must be running
on the backup server.
To roll forward transaction logs at the time of restoration:
1. Check the backup ID and Information Store name of the backup data.
To check the backup ID and Information Store name, execute the drmexgcat command. The
backup ID is displayed in BACKUP-ID and the Information Store name is displayed in
INFORMATIONSTORE. Since this example restores the mailbox store, check the Information Store
name of the item for which OBJECT is MAILBOXSTORE.
DBServer > drmexgcat -target SG1

2. Create a backup ID record file.
Execute EX_DRM_BACKUPID_SET with the backup ID specified to create a backup ID record
file. Here, use operation ID Operation_A.
DBServer > EX_DRM_BACKUPID_SET Operation_A -backup_id 0000000001
3. Specify the Information Store name to restore the Information Store from the secondary volume
to the primary volume and roll forward the transaction logs.
Restore the data from the secondary volume to the primary volume. To restore the data, execute
EX_DRM_EXG_RESTORE on the database server.
To execute roll-forward, specify the -recovery option. To specify the Information Store name,
specify the -target option.
DBServer > EX_DRM_EXG_RESTORE Operation_A -resync -recovery -target
