  2. Install the SQL Server on this system if it is not installed on this system already.

  3. Install the NetBackup client on this system if it is not installed on this system already.

    See Restoring Enterprise Vault SQL database components.

  5. Run the Enterprise Vault recovery tools to repair the consistency of the vault store. This step helps to bring the partitions, the vault store databases to a consistent state.

    If you chose to not run the Enterprise Vault recovery tools to repair any inconsistency, data loss can occur.

    Symantec recommends that you run Enterprise Vault tools with the guidance of Enterprise Vault Support.
