Guidelines for restoring from a raw partition
backup
The following describes
the guidelines for restoring from a raw partition backup:
Privileges
You must be logged on as a system administrator to the NetBackup
master server that backed up the partition.
Policy configuration
The backup policy that performs the backup must be configured
for a raw partition backup. The configuration requires that the
Backup Selections list in the policy
include the device file for the partition.
Note:
The device file for the partition must
exist.
Destination disk
Unmount the partition and verify that it is not in use. You
cannot perform a raw partition restore to the root partition or to
the partition where NetBackup is installed.
Ensure that the partition on the destination disk is the same
size as the source partition when it was backed up. Otherwise, the
restore results are unpredictable.
Close or stop any database that uses the partition for
storage.
Exit from all applications that are running on the
partition.
