Re: [Veritas-bu] Dr restores without importing tapes.

In simple way:

Move the tapes want to restore at the alternate server.

Find the backup images that are on those tapes.

Copy the image files from the image database to the alternate server.

Put the tape in the alternate library and do an inventory.

Move the tape to a “safe” pool.

Now if the backup was made from the master server and the name of the alternate master is the same do your restore. If not use “alternate restore server” and do your restore

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Dr restores without importing tapes.

I was wondering if anybody had read/implemented the doc:

Disaster recovery using partial catalog recovery in NetBackup…..?

This looks like the perfect solution for me.

I have a fully functional NetBackup environment in my DR site.

All I need to be able to do is restore from my production tapes without having to import them.

If I do the “standard” for DR then I have a server sitting up there doing nothing waiting for me to do a catalog recovery to it. As I don’t need the policies, storage units, devices, but only need access to the images, this white paper looks like a good fit for me.

I am looking at doing the replication of my images from the prod master to the dr master into a new file system.

So has anybody else read this or implemented it?

If so, you see any issues that you think you would run into?
