Restoring Archive Log, Datafiles, and Tablespaces

NOTE:

If Symantec NetBackup (NBU) is used to back up datafiles, NBU can be used to restore

datafiles to the database server, backup server, or any other hosts where the NBU clients for the
same NBU master server are configured. If the virtual copy is being backed up using NBU, the
backup key has the format: <oracle_sid>_<db_server>_<timestamp>.

To restore a datafile or tablespace:
1.

Select Virtual Copy Management in the navigation tree.

2.

In the viewing pane, right-click the desired virtual copy and select Restore.

The Restore Database from Media Backup dialog box appears.

3.

In the Restore Destination group box, enter the Host Name, Oracle SID, Oracle Home, and
Mount Point (only for NBU) for restoring the datafiles or tablespace. If the Mount Point is left
blank, files are restored to their original paths on the database server.

4.

If the virtual copy is an archlog type, you can only restore an archive log. Otherwise, in the
Restore Options group box select one of the following:

Full Database - If selected, you can optionally Restore Database Control Files.

TableSpace - If selected, select one or more tables to restore.

Datafiles - If selected, select one or more datafiles to restore.

5.

Click Finish.

Refreshing Database Information

Tablespace, datafile, archive log, and virtual volume information can be refreshed in the Recovery

Click Refresh.

Recovery Manager for Oracle retrieves all the information from the database.
