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
To perform a restore using the menu-driven application:
1 On the 3PAR Recovery Manager for Oracle main menu, select option 4, Restore
Administration.
2 Select a database to restore.
3 3PAR 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.
4 Choose 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.
NOTE: Restore is not supported on Remote Copy configuration.
