5.4 Performing Restores

You can automatically restore a backup of a database instance only if the backup was created using NetBackup.

The backup operation actually occurs on the backup host. Restoring a backup image from the backup host to the primary host is called alternate restore. NetBackup requires that a file name of /usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames/<database_hostname> exist on the NetBackup master server.

For example, if you want to restore a backup image to a database server named pilot, create an empty file named pilot in /usr/openv/netbackup/db/altnames on the NetBackup master server.

5.4.1 Performing Restores

NOTE: Restore is not supported on Remote Copy configuration.

To perform a restore using the menu-driven application:

1On the 3PAR Recovery Manager for Oracle main menu, select option 4, Restore Administration.

2Select a database to restore.

33PAR Virtual Copy then displays a list of virtual copies. Each virtual copy is represented by virtual copy timestamp, actual backup timestamp, backup type, status and a flag to backup to media. Choose a virtual copy to restore the database from its associated backup image.

4Choose whether to restore the backup image that is associated with the selected virtual copy to its original location, or to a common mount point on the primary or backup host.
