Specifying the server, client, and policy type

To browse for backups of SQL databases that are backed up by Backup Exec, you must first specify the server that contains the backup images. You must also specify the client that performed the backups, and the type of policy that is associated with the backups.

To specify the server, client, and policy type

  1. Select File > Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type.

  2. In the Specify NetBackup Machines and Policy Type dialog box, select the desired server from the Server to use for backups and restores list.

  3. From the Source client for restores list, select the desired client.

    The source client is the SQL Server machine name whose backup images you want to browse.

  4. From the Policy type for restores list, select MS-SQL-Server.

  5. To redirect a restore to a different client, select the client to which to redirect the restore from the Destination clients for restores list.

  6. Click OK.

    NetBackup browses for SQL Server backup images.

    The NetBackup History pane displays SQL Server backup information. The top split windows show individual image information. The bottom split gives file and folder information and also allows the user to select what files are to be restored.
