MessageThere are two steps to an import process. The first phase adds the
catalog information for the images to the Netbackup database. These are the
*INCR or *FULL files in the database. Once that phase is completed, you can
select the images from the tape you are requireing to be recoverd. Phase II
recreates the *FULL.f and *INCR.f binary files in the database wich is the
true backup data. Using the wizard, the first step is the Phase I process.
This will load the tape, read the image headers, and will give you another
screen listing the images that reside on the media. At that point, you can
select the image you wish to recover (phase II).
bprecover would be used following the restore of the catalog backup.
The above process is required since you must recover the database backup to
disk so you can use that information to actually recover your production NBU
database.

Matthew, can you please tell me what you mean by "phase I and II import"?
I'm not seeing any settings in the "Master Server/Netbackup
Management/Catalog/import" function. also, by "perform a recovery" you mean
the "bprecover" command? or are you implying the entire "merge copied images
into catalog", insert tapes, inventory robot, FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER to
bp.conf, etc. Many thanks, Aren

The only problem you will have is the process of restoring the database
information. You will have to install NBU to your current patch level,
perform a phase I and II import of the tape with the database information,
restore the database dump to the disk location, shutdown NBU, then perform a
recovery utilizing the data you just restored.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] DR, catalog backups, disk and tape question
Hello experts, I was wondering if the following is a good idea:
NBU 4.5 HP-UX 11i, XP512 disk (SAN attached, very fast and reliable)
ADIC scalar 10k with LTO-1 and LTO-2 drives (also SAN attached)
Our production community requirements mean that backups run nearly 24
x 7 so the automatic catalog backup never gets a chance to kick off unless
we stir up the bees nest by killing/suppressing the backups and manually
kicking one off. I know that disk backups are fast, we are using vaulting.
Our DR site is not set up to recover the NBU, they didn't think of that yet.
I'd like to perform the catalog backup to disk (different file system than
the DB) /catalog_backup for example, and then back /catalog_backup up to
tape at our leisure daily, with an inline copy once a week, send one tape
copy off to DR site and bank the other at our local off-site storage. Will
this work? Can I do a bprecover on the restored data and get it to restore
the prod NBU DB onto the remote DR server? Currently our catalog backups
take 4-5 hours. Any gotchas trying to recover NBU catalogs using a
"regular" tape backup of a catalog backup on disk? Thanks a lot! Aren
