Restoring an SQL database to an alternate database or


machine using DP for SQL

Technote (FAQ)

Problem
What steps need to be performed to restore an SQL database to an alternate
SQL Server machine (or database) using the Data Protection for SQL
GUI?

Cause

Solution
The following steps can be use to restore a database to an alternate
location. This can be on an alternate machine or to a new location/database
on the same machine.

1. Copy the "dsm.opt" file from the originating (source) machine where the
backup was taken to this alternate (target) restore machine (the default
directory is c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\tdpsql).
2. If passwordaccess is set to generate in this "dsm.opt" file, it may be
necessary to reset the password on the TSM Server for this node.
3. Launch the Data Protection for SQL GUI on the alternate (target) restore
machine.
4. Click on the Restore Databases tab.
5. If this is the first time this TSM Node has attempted to contact the TSM
Server from this machine, it will prompt for the TSM password.
6. Make sure that both boxes are checked for the Wait for Tape Mounts
(for both the Restore and for File Information).
Depending on which database backup is being restored, it may be
necessary to check the Show Active and Inactive box.
If this restore is going to replace an already existing database on this
alternate restore machine, also make sure the Replace check box is
selected.
7. On the left-hand side, under SQL Servers, open the list to see the SQL
Server and databases from the originating (source) machine.
8. In the main restore window, select the database to be restored ( the box
next to the database should have a red check mark).
9. Right click on this selected database and 3 options will be displayed:
Restore Into, Relocate, Stand Server Undo File.
10. Both the Restore Into and Relocate options will need to be configured.
a. Select the Restore Into and enter the new name for this database on this
alternate (target) restore machine.
b. Then select the Relocate, wait for the dialog box to appear that contains
the information regarding the file location/name for the database backup. If
the metadata containing this information must wait for a tape mount on the
TSM Server, it may be some amount of time until the dialog box is
populated. It is not possible to update the relocate information until after
the box has been filled in with this File Information metadata.
11. Then click the Restore button to complete the restore to this alternate
(target) restore machine.
