Backing up and restoring between local sites and remote sites
This section uses examples to explain how to use functions such as Continuous Access Software or
Continuous Access Journal to perform volume replication between storage systems. It includes an
example of backing up an SQL Server database from a primary volume at the local site to a secondary
volume at a remote site, and an example of restoring the SQL Server database from the secondary
volume at a remote site to the primary volume at the local site.
The following conditions are assumed:
• An SQL Server database will be backed up to a remote site.
• The SQL Server database that is backed up to the remote site will be restored to the local site (if
the local site is normally active).
• The SQL Server database that is backed up to the remote site will be restored to a remote site (if
the local site has encountered a problem).
• The SQL Server database will be restored from the remote site to the local site (when the local site
recovers from the problem).
The examples in this section assume the system configuration shown in the following figure.
