Restore DB From Disk
If you backed up the NetBackup databases to a disk that is intact, you can recover the
databases as explained in the following procedure.
Note If this disk has failed, you must resort to backups of this disk that have gone to
another server. If you have not backed up the NetBackup databases to another
server, you must use the NetBackup Import Images feature to import the image
information into the databases. See the NetBackup System Administrator’s Guide -
UNIX for instructions.
1. Stop the NetBackup request daemon (bprd) and NetBackup database manager
daemon (bpdbm):
◆ Stop bprd by using the Terminate Request Daemon command on the bpadm
Special Actions menu (or xbpadm File menu).
◆ Stop bpdbm by executing:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm -terminate
2. Stop the Media Manager device daemon (ltid) and Media Manager volume daemon
(vmd).
◆ Stop ltid by executing:
/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/stopltid
d. Stop vmd by executing /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmctrldbm -t (or use
Terminate Media Manager volume Daemon command on the xvmadm File menu).
3. Execute the bprecover command to recover the databases.
The following commands recover the /usr/openv/netbackup/db catalogs from
