Master Server Disk Recovery
204 NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide - UNIX
Figure 1. Recover Master Server - Root Intact (overview)
1. Verify that the operating system is working. If it isn’t, take the appropriate corrective
actions.
2. Reinstall NetBackup software. Do not configure NetBackup classes or devices.
See the NetBackup Installation Guide - UNIX for instructions.
3. Recover the NetBackup databases by using the bprecover command on the master
server.
Choose one of the procedures under “Recovering the NetBackup Databases” on
page 211.
Caution In step 4, do not restore files to the /usr/openv/netbackup/db or
/usr/openv/volmgr/database directories. These directories were
recovered in step 3 and overwriting them with regular backups will leave the
databases in an inconsistent state.
4. Start the NetBackup client-user interface and restore other files to the server as
desired.
