Chapter 8 Disaster Recovery 65
• Do Not Monitor Job Progress During a Recovery —
It is strongly recommended
that all NetVault windows be closed, and the NetVault GUI be closed during the
recovery of the NetVault Database, as this may interfere with the process.
Restore Procedure
1
Access the Restore window from the NetVault GUI by clicking the
Restore
button in the command toolbar.
2
Double-click the NetVault Server that the desired backup was performed from to
open it.
3
Plug-ins (and APMs) used to conduct successful backups on the selected client
will be displayed. Double-click the NetVault Database Plug-in to open it.
4
All of the Backup Savesets created using the NetVault Database Plug-in display.
Locate the desired saveset, right-click it and select
Open
from the pop-up menu.

All of the various components that make up the NetVault Database will display.
Items with check boxes at their left are single items that can be selected for
inclusion, while items without check boxes can be double-clicked to browse their
individual contents.
6
For a full database restore, select each item in the tree. Additionally, open up root
items to display their contents by double-clicking them, and then select all of
their contents (e.g., Events, Notification and Reports Database items).
7
Select the Restore Options tab and make sure that the Blank Reports Database
Table option is selected.

Other tab selections (e.g. Schedule and Advanced Options) contain additional
options that can be set as desired.

Enter a suitable name for the job in the Job Title box and start the restore job by
clicking the
Submit
button.

The job will now run and the backed-up version of the NetVault Database will be
restored over the one created with the recent installation of NetVault.

Once the NetVault Database has restored successfully, it is necessary to restart
NetVault Services via the NetVault Configurator. During the restore procedure
these services are automatically stopped.
