HP Legato Networker manual Task 7 Recover the Application and User Data

Chapter 3: UNIX Disaster Recovery

Task 7: Recover the Application and User Data

To recover the application and user data that was on the NetWorker server:

1.Log in as root.

2.Load and inventory the devices. This ensures that the NetWorker server can recognize the location of each volume.

Note: If you load a clone volume, you must either delete the original volume from the media database or mark it as suspect in the media database. If you are using a clone volume, it will be used for the remainder of the recovery process.

3.Run the nwrecover program.

4.Mark all of the directories or files that you want to recover.

3

Important: Do not recover any UNIX operating system boot files that should not be overwritten during a recovery. For more information on boot files, see “Prerequisites” on page 28.

5. Click Start to begin the recovery.

Note: By default, the directed recover option is enabled when you install the NetWorker client. If the directed recover option was disabled on the client before the disaster, you need to explicitly set this option to disable directed recoveries to this client. This option is set through the nsradmin command. For more information about setting the disable directed recover option on the NetWorker client, refer to the Legato NetWorker Administrator’s Guide, UNIX Version.

Task 8: Perform a Test Backup and Recovery

To test the server recovery process:

1.Perform a test backup or recovery to make sure the server is fully recovered.

2.Verify that the server and its associated clients are included in a scheduled backup.
