How generating bch for SQL restore retrieves database informations

Hi,

I'm trying to make a Powershell script to automate the restore process of the SQL Server databases

It's clear for me how to do it, but the only things I can't get are the SQL path informations (TO directive) and SQL logical name informations (MOVE directive) that are generated into the bch file during restore process

Thanks in advance

    Hello,

    you will have to "play" with bpflist command output. It returns these values (MSSQL_METADATA_FILES, MSSQL_MEDATADA_LOGFILE). For example:

    bpflist -backupid <client>_1571795399 -rl <rl> -option GET_ALL_FILES

    Note that this command is available on NetBackup servers only, not clients.

    Regards

    Michal

      Thank you Michal, that's what I need

      Do you know if there's a way to have bpflist executable on a client?

    Hi 

    I know it has been a while :) 

    But if its Ok, can you share that Powershell to automate the SQL restore, it will be a super helpful for me,

    as we have to do a bunch of restores (move) every once in a while.

     

    Thanks in Advance
