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
