16.3 Restoring databases

This chapter describes how to restore a database by using a database manager.

Tip: To restore a database, you must stop the management server. Therefore, choose a day or time of day for the reorganization that is during a time when the management server is not used.

Tip: The time required for restoration depends on the disc capacity. In addition, if operation logs are specified in setup to be automatically stored, the time required for restoration changes depending on the size of the operation logs. The dialog box that indicates that a restoration is being processed displays the elapsed time, which you can use to measure the progress status.

Important note

If you are using a computer that is running Windows 8, do not specify any of the following folders for Backup Folder:

system-drive:\program files\folders-in-WindowsApps
Storage folders created by using thin provisioning

In the Database Manager view, from Maintenance, click the Restore button.
In the Restore Database view, specify a folder in which a backup file is stored.

Specify for Backup Folder the location in which a backup file is stored.

Important note

If you specify a folder on a network drive for Backup Folder, restoration will fail.

If you have backed up a database before, the location specified for storing the backup file the previous time is displayed.

If specifying a data storage folder directly, use a character string not exceeding 150 single-byte characters, which can consist of alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following symbols:

# ( ) . @ \
Specify a work folder.

Specify for Temporary Folder a work folder to be used for restoration.

Important note

For Temporary Folder, if 10,000 devices are managed, specify a folder on a local drive that has at least 10 GB of free space. If you specify a folder on a network drive, restoration will fail.

If you have restored the database before, the work folder specified for the previous time is displayed.

If specifying a work folder directly, use a character string not exceeding 150 single-byte characters, which can consist of alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following symbols:

# ( ) . @ \

By default, the following folder is specified:

All User profile application data folder \Hitachi\jp1itdmm
Click the Execute button.

A dialog box that shows the processing status is displayed until restoration is complete.

Restoration is complete.
