To recover the catalog image file using bprecover -wizard

1. Start NetBackup by entering the following:

   If your configuration includes an EMM server separate from the master server, start NetBackup on the EMM server before starting NetBackup on the master server.

   On UNIX and Linux:

   /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bp.start_all

   On Windows:

   install_path\NetBackup\bin\bpup
   

2. If the catalog backup resides on a specific disk type, you may have to fix media references in the disaster recovery file.
   
   See About catalog recovery from disk devices in NetBackup 7.0 and 7.1.
   
   To fix the disk media IDs in the disaster recovery file, run the following command:
   
   nbcatsync -sync_dr_file DR_File
   
   Replace DR_File with the full pathname to the disaster recovery file.

3. Run the following command:

   bprecover -wizard

   The following is displayed:

   Welcome to the NetBackup Catalog Recovery Wizard!
   Please make sure the devices and media that contain catalog
   disaster recovery data are available
   Are you ready to continue?(Y/N)

4. Enter Y to continue. The following prompt appears:

   Please specify the full pathname to the catalog disaster 
   recovery file:

5. Enter the pathname to the Backup ID file. For example:

   C:\DR_INFO\HotCatBack_1120078077_FULL

   The following is displayed:

   All media resources were located
   Do you want to recover the entire NetBackup catalog? (Y/N)

6. Enter N to continue. The following is displayed:

   Catalog recovery is in progress. Please wait...
   This portion of the catalog recovery has completed.

   Because this operation is a partial recovery, any remaining portions of the catalog must be restored using Backup, Archive, and Restore.

   Please review the following log file for more information

   C:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\Logs\user_ops\ 
   Administrator\logs\Recover1123008613.log
   

7. If you fixed the disk media IDs in the DR file in step 2, you must fix the disk media ID references in the image headers. The image headers were recovered from the catalog backup.
   
   To fix the disk media IDs in the image headers, run the following command:
   
   nbcatsync -backupid image_id -dryrun
   
   Replace image_id with the ID of the catalog backup. You can find the image ID of the catalog backup by examining the DR file.

8. You can now recover the NetBackup database if necessary.

9. NetBackup does not run scheduled backup jobs until NetBackup is stopped and restarted. Before restarting NetBackup, protect the media that contains the backups that were successfully performed after the catalog backup that was used to recover the catalog.

   This media protection may include the following tasks:

   • Importing the backups from the backup media into the catalog

   • Write protecting the media

   • Ejecting the media and setting it aside

   • Freezing the media

10. Stop and restart NetBackup on all the servers.

    On UNIX and Linux:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bp.kill_all
    /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bp.start_all

    On Windows:

    install_path\NetBackup\bin\bpdown
    install_path\NetBackup\bin\bpup

    If a remote EMM server is used, start NetBackup on it before you start NetBackup on the master server.
