To restore the Enterprise Vault Directory database

1. Stop the Enterprise Vault Admin and Directory services on the Enterprise Vault computer where you want to restore the Directory database.

   If other Enterprise Vault servers connect to the Directory database, stop the Admin and Directory services on those computers too.

2. On the navigation bar, click the arrow next to Restore.

3. Click New Restore Job.

4. In the View by Resource pane, expand an Enterprise Vault installation that contains the Directory database that you want to restore.

   For example, expand Directory on <computer name>.

5. Expand Directory DB (<SQL Server name>/<instance>/EnterpriseVaultDirectory).

6. Select the full backup set.

7. In the Restore Job Properties pane, under Settings, click Enterprise Vault.

8. Select the following options as appropriate:

   Terminate the Directory and Monitoring database connections automatically when restoring these databases	Check this option to stop the Enterprise Vault services. This option takes the shared Directory and Monitoring databases offline so Backup Exec can replace them during a restore job. This option causes the Enterprise Vault Admin and Directory services on all related Enterprise Vault servers to terminate the connection to the Directory database that you restore. It also terminates the connection to the Monitoring database. When the restore job completes, you must manually restart the Enterprise Vault Admin and Directory services on your Enterprise Vault server. After you restart the services, the services reconnect to the restored databases and Enterprise Vault begins archival operations again.
   Leave the database ready to use; additional transaction logs or differential backups cannot be restored	Select this option to have the restore operation roll back all uncompleted transactions when you restore the last database, differential, or log backup. After the recovery operation, the database is ready for use. If you do not select this option, the database is left in an intermediate state and is not usable. If you select this option, you cannot continue to restore backups. You must restart the restore operation from the beginning.
   Leave the database nonoperational; additional transaction logs or differential backups can be restored	Select this option during transaction log and database restore to create and maintain a standby database. See your SQL documentation for information on standby databases.

9. In the Properties pane, select other restore options as needed.

10. Do one of the following:

    To run the job now	Click Run Now.
    To schedule the job to run later	Do the following in the order listed: In the Properties pane, under Frequency, click Schedule. Set the scheduling options. Click Submit.

    See Scheduling jobs.

11. After the restore successfully completes, restart all Directory and Admin services.
