Select a different backup copy for recovery

You can restore from the primary backup copy or choose from other available backup copies.

To select a different backup copy for recovery

Locate the full, differential, or transaction log that you want to restore.
Click Copies and locate the copy that you want.
In the example below, there is an additional copy for the transaction log on Tape.
You can then click the Actions menu for that copy to select the restore that you want to perform.
In this example, for the copy on AdvancedDisk, you can select either Perform complete database recovery or Recover single recovery point.

Edit the storage for recovery

In the example below, the Recovery source page of the recovery wizard displays the selected storage for recovery. If the images that are needed for recovery are not available on that storage, NetBackup automatically selects the primary images on the appropriate storage. You can change the storage if you don't want to use the automatic selections.

In this case, you selected a transaction log copy on AdvancedDisk storage. Because the full and incremental images were not available on the same storage, NetBackup automatically picked the copies on MSDP storage. You can click Edit to change the selected storage for the Full image.

Figure: Storage selected for recovery

If you want to use only the primary copies for the recovery, click Select only primary copies (see Figure: Select only primary copies of transaction logs ). Otherwise, you can click Edit to select the specific storage that you want to use (see Figure: Edit storage for transaction logs).
