Aborting FSE backup

To abort an ongoing FSE backup process, you need to abort the backup job. In certain cases, aborting the fsebackup command itself is also required. Perform the steps:

1.Run the fsejob command to abort the FSE backup job. You must specify the backup job ID: fsejob --abort BackupJobID

For information on determining job IDs, see section ”Listing FSE jobs” on page 157.

2.In the window where fsebackup was invoked, press CTRL+C to abort fsebackup.

NOTE: This step is not required if tape was specified as the only backup destination, and the FSE backup job was waiting for resources at the moment you aborted it.

Restore

Before you start using the FSE restore feature, you need to know its purpose, prerequisites for starting FSE restore, and course of the restore process.

You also need to be familiar with the FSE directory layout. For more information, see appendix ”Directory layout” on page 291.

What is FSE restore?

FSE restore is a process in the FSE implementation that copies a backup image from the specified restore source to a local directory, and performs automatic recreation of entities on the FSE server using data from the backup image. The restore source can be either local or remote disk volume, remote share, or backup FSE medium that is already loaded in an FSE drive. The restore process reverts completely the state of the FSE server, including all configured FSE partitions, to the point in time when the backup image was created.

You can use FSE restore to recover an FSE server, on which disaster occurred and affected FSE databases and system files. For exact list of entities that are recreated with FSE restore, see section ”Backup” on page 221.

IMPORTANT: FSE restore cannot recover data on HSM file systems or in Hierarchical Storage Management Databases (HSMDBs), since these entities are not backed up during FSE backup sessions. For information on how to recover HSM file systems, see section ”Recovery”, subsection HSM file system recovery” on page 236.

NOTE: An alternative way of restoring a particular File System Catalogs that is either missing or corrupt is

the File System Catalog recovery. For details, see section ”Recovery”, subsection ”File System Catalog recovery” on page 235.

How it works?

You need to ensure that the prerequisites are met and consider the restore process, before you start restoring the FSE implementation.

File System Extender (FSE) specifications

HP File System Extender (FSE) is a sophisticated solution designed to optimize data storage management for enterprises that deal with large volumes of unstructured data. This technology addresses the challenges of data growth and the need for effective data retention strategies, enabling organizations to store and manage their information more efficiently.

One of the main features of HP FSE is its ability to intelligently migrate data between primary and secondary storage. By utilizing policies that determine when to move infrequently accessed files to lower-cost storage environments, FSE helps reduce the strain on primary storage systems and saves on costs associated with high-performance storage solutions. This tiered approach to data management ensures that organizations can access the data they need quickly while still maintaining an efficient overall storage architecture.

Another notable characteristic of HP FSE is its seamless integration with existing storage infrastructures. The solution works with a variety of storage systems, allowing organizations to utilize their current investments without the need for significant changes to their infrastructure. This interoperability is powered by advanced technologies that facilitate data migration and retrieval, ensuring a smooth transition for organizations looking to optimize their storage strategies.

Additionally, HP FSE is equipped with robust reporting and analytics capabilities. This functionality provides organizations with insights into their storage usage, helping them understand data patterns and optimize their storage environments accordingly. By having visibility into which files are accessed most frequently and which are rarely used, organizations can make informed decisions on data retention policies and storage management.

Security is paramount in data management, and HP FSE addresses this concern by implementing advanced data protection features. This includes data encryption, secure access controls, and compliance with industry regulations, ensuring that sensitive information is safeguarded throughout its lifecycle.

Overall, HP File System Extender is a comprehensive data storage solution that combines intelligent data management, seamless integration, insightful analytics, and robust security features. By leveraging these capabilities, organizations can efficiently manage their unstructured data, lower costs, and enhance operational efficiency, making it an invaluable tool in today’s data-driven landscape.
