functionality (Microsoft failover from node to node) available during
the restoration process, you will have to create a resource, like you
did for your original connection, for the restoration process. See
. Keep in mind when restoring, your
target will function as your source, sending data to the target, which
will be your original or new source.
d. 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.
e. Select the Restore To machine. This is your temporary source that has the
unique IP address.
f. Select the Restore from Route. This is the IP address and port on the target
that the data will be transmitted through. This allows you to select a different
route for Storage Mirroring Recover traffic. For example, you can separate
regular network traffic and Storage Mirroring Recover traffic on a machine
with multiple IP addresses.
g. The Restore To Server Path and Restore From Server Path 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: 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.
h. Select the Use Backup Replication Set check box to use the target’s copy
of the replication set database for the restoration. If this check box is not
marked, you will be accessing the replication set information from the source.
i. Select the Restore Replication Set check box to restore the target’s copy of
the replication set database to the source during the restoration process.
j. Select the restoration conditionals that you want to use.
