Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup lun Restore

You are allowed to restore single file(s) from NDMP backups, though some devices have problems with DDAR, though I am pretty sure NetApp and that releease are ok.
Did you attempt this and run into trouble?

Subject	Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup lun Restore

We are running Netbackup 6.5 (Not 6.0)

We have sql and exchange db attached to Netapp filers (3070 clusters) via iscsi. Currently we back up the dbs using snapmanager for Sql and snapmanager for exchange. After the dbs are backed up, the snapmanager products replicate the backup jobs to a 3^rd Netapp filer for disk staging and then sent to tape.

In order to restore the databases or a single mail message, we have to first mount the replicated snapshot on a server and then use one of the snapmanager products for the restore. The snapmanager products will list the files and individual items stored in the lun and give the option to restore a single file or the entire lun.

Since the data on the 3^rd Netapp filer is backed up to tape using NDMP we can eliminate step 2. But only if netbackup can list the files and individual items stored in the lun.

Hopefully this makes sense.

Windows master server Netbackup 6.5

Netapp ontap 7.2

It depends a lot on what you mean by “LUN” and how you’re backing it up. Is the “LUN” mounted as a “filesystem”? Is it a “LUN” on which you have raw database stored? Some other thing?

Can't you just select the file you want to restore from the GUI and start the restore job?
What am I missing?

[Veritas-bu] Netbackup lun Restore

Can Netbackup 6.0 restore a single file from a lun??

I have able to backup and restore an entire lun successfully but I am now wondering if Netbackup and parse the lun for a single file and restore that file.

thnaks
