Restoring data
These steps walk you through restoring the newer data from the target so that the source and target are again synchronized.
Before beginning the restoration, you will delete one of the files on the source to confirm the restoration process.
1. Delete one of your test files from your source.
2. Open the Management Console on your client machine and double-click your target machine to log in.
3. Select Tools, Restoration Manager.
4. Select the Original Source machine. This is your source machine where the data originally resided.
5. Select the Restore From machine. This is the target machine where the backup data is stored.
6. Select the Restore To machine. This is the machine where the backup data will be sent.
7. Replication Set contains the replication set information stored on the target machine (the machine in Restore From).
Select your replication set.
8. The Source Path and Target Path will automatically be populated when the replication set is selected. Storage
Mirroring will allow the data to be placed in a location other than the original, but by default, and for the purposes of this
evaluation, restore the data to the same location it came from.
9. For this evaluation, use the default restoration conditionals. For detailed information on the different options, see the
Storage Mirroring User’s Guide.
10. Click Restore to begin the restoration.
NOTE: It is important to note that you should not let users access the source or target servers during the
restoration process. The restoration process is similar to the original connection process, except that only
mirroring is activated. Therefore, the data must not be changing on the target during the restore. Changes
made to files on the target during the restore will not be transmitted back to the source. Additionally, files
that are in use on the source may prevent the restore from updating those files.
