To recover a vault store partition

  1. Prepare to restore the system that you used to host this vault store.

  2. Install the operating system and any other required applications.

  3. Install the Enterprise Vault application on this system if it is not installed already.

  4. Configure the Enterprise Vault server to the Enterprise Vault directory database in the Enterprise Vault configuration.

    It may benefit you to know the Enterprise Vault topology on this Enterprise Vault server when it is time to select the Enterprise Vault backup images.

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

  6. Restore the vault store partition data.

    See Restoring an Enterprise Vault file system component.

  7. Run the Enterprise Vault recovery tools to repair the consistency of the vault store. This step helps to bring the partitions and 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.
