Managing the Data Protector Internal Database
Restoring the IDB
Chapter 9 414
Restoring the IDB
If you have backed up the IDB using the standard procedure, you can
restore it using the methods described in this section.
For a detailed description of how to handle the IDB recovery in case of a
disaster, refer to “Recovering the IDB” on page 417.
Restoring the IDB consists of two phases:
1. Restoring the IDB to a temporary location.
IMPORTANT This step is necessary because the IDB is in use during the restore. If you
try to restore the IDB to the original location, you will corrupt the IDB.
2. Moving the IDB to the original location.
Ensure that you have enough disk space before you begin.
Restoring the IDB to a Temporary Directory
To restore the IDB files to a temporary location, proceed as follows:
1. In the Data Protector Manager , switch to the Restore context.
2. Expand the Internal Database item.
3. Expand the client system with the IDB backup and then click the
database object to open the Source property page.
4. In the Source property page, select the IDB directories that you want
to restore. By default, the last backup version is selected for restore.
If you want to restore any other version, right-click the selected
directory and click
Restore Version . From the Backup version
drop-down list, select the backup version that you want to be
restored. Click
OK .
5. In the Destination property page select Restore to new
location option and select the temporary directory for IDB files (for
example, the temp directory).
