Restoring a file system to a primary volume

This section gives an example of restoring a file system when the backup data is stored on a secondary
volume. This example restores the data from the secondary volume to the primary volume by
resynchronizing the volumes. This example uses

Operation_A

as the operation ID that identifies the

file system to be restored.

To restore the file system:

1.

Check the backup ID of the backup data.

Check the backup ID of the backup data used to restore the file system, by executing the

drmfscat

command on the file server with a mount point name or mount point directory target

definition file name specified as an argument.

FSServer >drmfscat E:

INSTANCE: E:

BACKUP-ID: 0000000001 BACKUP-MODE: ONLINE INSTANCE: E: ORIGINAL-ID: 0000000001

START-TIME:2002/06/01 10:00:00 END-TIME: 2002/06/01 10:03:00 HOSTNAME: FSServer

T FILE FS DG DEVICE COPY-GROUP

F - E: - Harddisk2 VG01,vol01

F - - - - VG01,vol01

:

If you restore a file system that contains a specific file or directory by executing a restoration
command with the

-target

option specified, check the restoration target.

2.

Create a backup ID record file.

To create a backup ID record file, execute

EX_DRM_BACKUPID_SET

with the backup ID specified.

FSServer > EX_DRM_BACKUPID_SET Operation_A -backup_id 0000000001

3.

Restore the data from the secondary volume to the primary volume.

Restore the data by resynchronizing the primary and secondary volumes. To restore the data,
execute

EX_DRM_FS_RESTORE

on the file server.

FSServer > EX_DRM_FS_RESTORE Operation_A -resync

Backing up and restoring by using a tape device
