HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Software for Microsoft SQL Server Licenses - Manual (Page 32)

Using Your Backup Software
•
The default mount point for virtual copy backups is:
<system drive>:\3parSnapshot
•
You must manually synchronize backups. If a backup expires in your backup software, you
must manually remove the backup from Recovery Manager. If you remove a valid backup
from Recovery Manager, you must manually remove it from your backup software.
•
Recovery Manager does not track restore progress. You must use backup software to monitor
restore progress.
•
For more information about using CLI commands with your backup software, see HpRmCli
Sql backup
, HpRmCli Sql deletebackup, HpRmCli Sql listbackup, and HpRmCli
Sql restore in “Using the Recovery Manager CLI” (page 53) .
•
For more information about using your backup software to back virtual copies up to media,
see
“Backing Up a Virtual Copy” (page 46) .
•
For more information about using your backup software to restore virtual copies from media,
see
“Restoring Instances, Databases, and Volumes” (page 49) .
Using Symantec NetBackup
•
Symantec NetBackup supports Master, Client, and Media modes for tape backups.
•
Symantec NetBackup software is case-sensitive. If you are using NetBackup, make sure all
information entered pertaining to the policy is supplied with the proper case.
•
When you are using NetBackup to back up to media or restore from media, monitor the
progress using the progress log:
<RM installation location>\log\nbulog\database_timestamp.log
•
To modify the timeout value for NetBackup software initialization, see “Understanding the
Registry” (page 16) .
Using HP Data Protector
For each HP Data Protector backup you create, a postscript (.bat) file is created in the $DP_HOME\
bin
folder (where $DP_HOME is the Data Protector install location; for example, C:\ program
files\Omniback ). This script cleans up after the associated backup is complete.
NOTE: Recovery Manager does not clean these postscripts. After a backup is complete (either
successfully or with failures), you can manually remove the associated postscript batch file if desired.
Using Symantec Backup Exec
Symantec Backup Exec supports Media server and remote administrator console for backups.
When using the Backup Exec to backup to media or restore for media, monitor the progress using
the administrator console.
