Restore the PowerProtect Data Manager agent service datastore
Prerequisites
NOTE:Ensure that the agent service is powered off. Do not start the agent service until disaster recovery is complete.
About this task
You can restore the datastore from the datastore backup repository. If the repository is no longer on the local disk, restore the datastore from file system backups first.
To restore the datastore from a backup in the datastore backup repository, complete the following steps:
Steps
-
Move the files in the
<agent_service_installation_location>/dbs/v1 directory to a location for safe keeping.
NOTE:Do not move or delete any <agent_service_installation_location>/dbs/v1 subdirectories.
-
Select the most recent datastore backup.
The directories in the datastore backup repository are named after the time the backup was created.
-
Copy the contents of the datastore backup directory to the
<agent_service_installation_location>/dbs/v1 directory.
After the copy operation is complete, the <agent_service_installation_location>/dbs/v1 directory should contain the following files:
- copies.db
- objects.db
- resources.db
- sessions.db
- Start the agent service.
