PowerProtect Data Manager 19.18 Kubernetes User Guide

Granular-level restore considerations

Granular-level restores (GLRs) consists of restoring only a subset of the database or namespace. The PowerProtect Data Manager application-consistent database backups in Kubernetes do not support GLRs.

However, to achieve the effect of a GLR, complete the following steps:

1. Restore from the selected database backup to a new instance. This step restores the entire database to the new namespace.
2. Connect to the new database. Use database application commands to dump the required portion of the database to a local file.
3. Use any appropriate method to move the local file to the original database instance.
4. Connect to the original database. Use database application commands to import the contents of the dump file into the original database. This step reverts the selected portion of the original database to match the contents of the backup.
5. Delete the new database instance.
