How to restore crashed master server

[Fahim_Khan]

HI,

I am using Windows server 2003, suppose today my netbackup server crashed & i have catalog backup of last week. Can we restore netbackup server to current/present state.

Please advice. Thanks in Advance.

I though of asking you a question..

what is catalog backup and why you need to have the catalog backup?

probatly answer for this question will answer your question..

You could bring it back to last week only from that catalog

After that you would need to see if you can import any images from disk or tape that you can find for backups that have run since then

Best practice is regular catalog backups (incremental ones are fine) to give you as close a restore opportunity as possible

Hope this helps

Hey Fahim,

Point of recovery - last week (last successful catalog backup)

You cannot restore to current configuration

Hey Nagalla,

I am aware of catalog backup, wonder that you are giving this silly answer to me.

[RamNagalla]

ideally that is what the answer you are happy with...
