Restoring a file system to the local site

This subsection explains an example for restoring a file system to a local site, when the local site is
running normally, without failure. Procedures at the local site and remote site are explained separately.

Operations at the remote site

1.

Split the Continuous Access Software pair (usual operation is in the pair status).

BKServer > pairsplit -g TC01 -d FS11 -rw

BKServer >

2.

Check the backup ID of the backup data.

To check the backup ID, execute the

drmtapecat

command on the backup server.

BKServer > drmtapecat

3.

Restore the backed up data from tape to the secondary volume.

To restore the data, execute

EX_DRM_TAPE_RESTORE

on the backup server. For the mount point,

specify the G drive (drive letter

G:

).

BKServer > EX_DRM_TAPE_RESTORE Operation_A -backup_id 0000000002

-mount_pt G:

When a restore is executed, information about the restore operation will be registered in the
backup catalog of the backup server. In this example, the information has the new backup ID

0000000003

.

4.

Check that restoration from tape to the secondary volume was performed correctly.

To check that backup information with the date of the backup from the primary volume to the
secondary volume has been restored to the backup server, execute the

drmfscat

command on

the backup server.

BKServer > drmfscat G:
