Netbackup Restore to same hardware

Using Netbackup to do an OS restore onto same hardware requires this procedure below.

Running W2koption.exe
1. Begin the recovery of the system by building the PC that you wish to recover. Follow the steps outlined in the Troubleshooting Guide in the section titled Disaster Recovery. (The links to the Troubleshooting Guides can be found in the Related Documents section below.)
2. Before the restore starts, run the w2koption with the following command syntax:
\VERITAS\Netbackup\bin\w2koption -restore -same_hardware 1
3. Then, restore the data files and the System_State. Do not reboot the server yet.
4. Repeat the w2koption command as done earlier.
\VERITAS\Netbackup\bin\w2koption -restore -same_hardware 1
5. Stop the NetBackup Client Service and verify the bpinetd.exe is no longer running.
6. Reboot the PC.
