NetBackup Snapshot Manager data recovery
NetBackup Snapshot Manager data recovery using script
- While recovering NetBackup Snapshot Manager metadata using the tar file, reinstall the NetBackup Snapshot Manager and use the tar file using recover option.
For example, flexsnap_configure recover --backup-file <tar file>
- Ensure that you use the same host name (FQDN) while reinstalling the NetBackup Snapshot Manager after disaster recovery.
- While reinstalling, provide the reissue token generated from the NetBackup web UI for the host and ensure that you use the same port number which was used earlier.
- All the configuration steps (such as adding host entries in
/cloudpoint/openv/etc/hosts) must run again on the new NetBackup Snapshot Manager VM. - (Required only if NetBackup primary server version is other than 10.3) NetBackup Snapshot Manager must be registered again using re-issue token in NetBackup.
After following the recovery steps, NetBackup Snapshot Manager operates normally. User can also recover assets using earlier snapshot or backup copies.
