HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Software - Manual (Page 52)

1. Under the Backup Management node in the node tree pane, right-click the timestamp for the
backup you want to use for the restore, and select Restore.
By default, Recovery Manager restores the backed-up virtual copy to its original location,
which is displayed in the Alternate Location text box. The original location is the directory
<systemdrive>\3parSnapshot
.
2. If you want to restore the virtual copy to a different location, enter the alternate location in the
Alternate Location text box or select a location from the file chooser.
3. Click OK.
The backup software mounts the backup to the specified location as a virtual copy. To complete
restoring of an instance or a database, move the virtual copy to the volume or the database.
Analyzing and Synchronizing the Repository
You can use Recovery Manager to compare and synchronize virtual copies in the Recovery Manager
repository with the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System.
1.
In the node tree pane, right-click the SQL production server, and select Analyze.
2. To automatically synchronize the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System and the repository (if
necessary), select Synchronize result with Repository.
To analyze the repository without synchronizing it, clear Synchronize result with Repository.
3. Click Yes.
Depending on whether you are analyzing and synchronizing the repository or just analyzing
the repository, Recovery Manager does the following:
•
If you opt to automatically synchronize the results, Recovery Manager analyzes the
repository, synchronizes the repository and the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System (if
necessary), and updates the list of virtual copies under the Virtual Copy Management
node in the node tree pane.
•
If you opt to only analyze the repository, Recovery Manager displays the Analyze
Repository dialog box and performs the analysis. To view the list of virtual copies not in
the repository, if any, click the Detail button in the Analyze Repository dialog box.
To synchronize the results (if necessary), repeat the above steps to launch the Analyze
Repository dialog box. Be sure to select Synchronize result with Repository before continuing.
Removing a Virtual Copy
1. Check the Exposure column in the information pane and ensure the virtual copy detail displays
Not Mounted. If the virtual copy is mounted, unmount it.
For more information, see “Unmounting a Virtual Copy” (page 46) .
2. Right-click the virtual copy and select Remove.
