Restore the MongoDB data on the same cluster

This topic describes how to restore MongoDB data on the same cluster.

To restore the MongoDB data on the same cluster

  1. Open the NetBackup web UI.
  2. On the left, click Recovery.
  3. On the Regular recovery card, click Start recovery.
  4. In Basic properties, enter the following:

    • Select the Policy type as BigData > MongoDB

    • From the Source client list, select the required Application server.

    • From the Destination client list, select the required backup host. The restore is faster if the backup host is the media server that backed up the node.

    • Click Next.

  5. In Recovery details, do the following:

    • If necessary, click Edit to select the appropriate date range to restore the complete data set. Or select Use backup history and select the backup images that you want to restore.

    • Select the files and folders for restore.

    • Click Next.

  6. In Recovery options, do the following:

    • Select Restore everything to original location to restore your files to the same location where you performed your backup.

    • In MongoDB options, select Restore and recover and recover databases for the current time or select the specific schedule.

    • Click Next.

  7. Review the recovery details and click Start recovery.
