Restore MS SQL Database in another server by

using Symantec Netbackup Server


Filed under: Symantec Netbackup Akther @ 8:29 pm
This article will describe how we can restore MS SQL database in to another server.
Important points need to be noted while restoring a database in to another server
1. Login as a user who is having SQL server access permission. If you are login a user who
doesnt have access to database it will throw error while taking Netbackup agent>
Netbackup MS SQL client from start menu ( right click from net backup Ms Sql client and
run as administrator will solve this issue some time)
2. Client and server should be same Netbackup version. ( our case 7.0.1 on both end)
Restore process step by step
Go to Destination server > Start> Symantec Netbackup>Netbackup agent >
Netbackup MS SQL client ( right click > run as administrator if you have permission)
File > Restore SQL Server Object >

SQL Host Where is the original database backup residing ( Source database server)( If
SQL server is in cluster you should have given the cluster name)
Source Client Same as SQL host ( It means the destination server .i.e same server which
you login now to restore)
Click > Ok
It will show you the latest database and log backup

Select latest log file, it will automatically select latest database for this concern log file

Click > Restore


It will open a window and we need to save a script. give a meaningful name and click save.
It will open a notepad and in this note pad we need to edit below lines
1. DATABASE Newdatabase > This is the database will be restore in destination server
2. MOVE sourcedb
TO F:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Data\newdatabase.mdf
3. MOVE Sourcedb_log > This is the source database server
TO F:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Data\newdatabase_log.LDF
4. RECOVEREDSTATE
NUMBUFS

RECOVERED ( This will enable database restore with recovered)

1 ( If we see this as 2 for some reason ) there is a chance to fail the restore)

Once it done Go to File > Manage script file > select the script file which we saved in the
location> Start
C:\Program Files\Veritas\Netbackup\dbext\MSSQL ( Location of the script file)
Press F9 then you can see the status or Go to NBU server and see the Activity Monitor

It will restore the database with the name of Newdatabase.mdf


Hope it would be helpful for Netbackup administrators around the world
