Restoration
The Management Console provides an easy method for restoring
replicated data from the target back to the original source or to a
new source server. You are only required to input the original
source, the target, and the name of the replication set you want to
restore. Storage Mirroring handles the rest, including selecting the files in the replication set and
restoring them to the correct location.
1. From the Management Console, select Tools, Restoration Manager.
2. Identify the Original Source machine. This is your source machine where the data originally
resided.
3. Select the Restore From machine. This is the target machine where the copy of the data is
stored.
4. Replication Set contains the replication set information stored on the target machine (the
machine in Restore From). If no replication sets are available, the list will be blank. Select the
replication set that corresponds to the data that you need to restore.
5. Select the Restore To machine. This is the machine where the copy of the data will be sent.
6. The Restore To and Restore From paths will automatically be populated when the replication
set is selected. The restore to path is the directory that is the common parent directory for all of
the directories in the replication set. If the replication set crosses volumes, then there will be a
separate path for each volume. The restore from path is the path on the target server where the
replicated files are located.
NOTE: Restoration applies to the entire replication set and should not be used for individual
file restoration. Individual files can be restored manually by copying the files from the
target to the source machine using native operating system tools.
NOTE: Restoring across a NAT router requires the ports to be the same as the original
connection. If the ports have been modified (manually or reinstalled), you must set
the port numbers to the same values as the last valid source/target connection.
