About restoring from a backup at a target master domain
While it is possible to restore a client directly by using the images in the target master domain, do so only in a disaster recovery situation. In this discussion, a disaster recovery situation is one in which the originating domain no longer exists and clients must be recovered from the target domain
Table: Client restores in disaster recovery scenarios
Disaster recovery scenario | Does client exist? | Description |
|---|---|---|
Scenario 1 | Yes | Configure the client in another domain and restore directly to the client. |
Scenario 2 | No | Create the client in the recovery domain and restore directly to the client. This is the most likely scenario. |
Scenario 3 | No | Perform an alternate client restore in the recovery domain. |
The steps to recover the client are the same as any other client recovery. The actual steps depend on the client type, the storage type, and whether the recovery is an alternate client restore.
For restores that use Granular Recovery Technology (GRT), an application instance must exist in the recovery domain. The application instance is required so that NetBackup has something to recover to.
