Restore Catalog from Tape
- 13 years ago
Worked with Symnatec Support over the phone and this is a summary they sent that, well, sums up what it took to get it working:
-- To recover and resynchronize the NetBackup relational databases (NBDBs),tried bprecover -r -nbdb.
still same issue.-- checked latest catalog backup and found latest catalog backup on 14th July.
-- Seems,due to the latest catalog backup on 14th July i.e.after crash,while recover NBDB,it is capturing information from 14th July's full catalog information.
-- Expired the catalog backup images which has been taken after server crash,so that bprecover can recover the NBDB before the server crash.
-- Run the bprecover -r -nbdb to recover NBDB.
-- Able to see the volume pools,storage units and groups.
-- Checked with Restore and Image cleanup.Working fine.At first could not access the Media server, but after a reboot of the entire environment this was OK as well.
Thanks for all your help mph999 Martin! Very much appreciated.
