Greetings all

 

I have a customer who decomissioned Commvault a few months back and they now need to recover some data.

The Commserve and Media Agents were deleted.

We intend to restore the last DR_SET backup that was taken to create a new Commserve and a new Media Agent (Linux).

The Library was configured as a NFS share and that backup data is still available in the cloud provider’s infrastructure.

In order to access the mount path, do I just share it in the ‘Sharing’ tab on the original Media Agent’s properties and then add the data path in the Storage Policy copy (wasn’t the primary copy).

 

The DDB is on longer available, but we wouldn’t need it just for restores.

We’re only restoring File System Data.

 

Is there anything else I need to consider?

 

Thanks,

Mauro

Hello @Mauro 

I was thinking, after the DB is restored and the mount path shared, it might be a good idea to run a Data Verification or DDB Verification to make sure the data is recognized by the CommServe, since you are rolling back to a previous point in time.

Hello @Mauro 

Once the CommServe DB is restored, simply share the new MediaAgent to the mount paths of the Cloud Library.

Thanks so much. I thought as much, just wanted to confirm before I proceed that that was all that was required.
