Restoring Backup Exec Database backups

If the database you want to restore uses the simple recovery model, there are no transaction log backups to restore. You only need to restore the most recent full database backup and if you were running differential database backups, restore the most recent differential database backup.

To restore a SQL database from a Backup Exec backup

  1. Log on as Administrator.

  2. Open the Backup, Archive, and Restore interface.

  3. Specify the appropriate server, client, and policy type.

  4. Select File > Select Files and Folders to Restore > from Backup Exec Backup.

  5. In the Restore window, in the NetBackup History pane, select the backup image that contains the objects you want to restore.

  6. Select the most recent full database backup and the most recent differential database backup to restore.

  7. Select Actions > Start Restore of Marked Files.

  8. In the Restore Marked Files dialog box, from the Recovery completion state group, select Leave database operational. No additional transaction logs can be restored.

  9. Click Start Restore.
