You can modify the default data restore options that are available in the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
Procedure
- From the Recover tab, select Database
Restore.
- Click the Show Restore Options to modify the default
restore options as follows:
- AutoSelect
- Set this option to True (default) to quickly select
the backup objects to restore. With auto-selection, when you select
the most recent backup to restore, all other necessary backups are
automatically selected for you, up to the previous full backup.
AutoSelect provides these characteristics:
- Operates when you click a full backup, differential backup,
or incremental backup.
- Ignores copy backups.
- When you click a full backup, the latest associated
differential or all associated incremental backups are
selected.
- When you click a differential backup, the associated full
backup is also selected.
- When you click an incremental backup, the associated full
backup and all associated earlier incremental backups are
also selected.
- For VSS backup, automatically selects all databases that
were backed up together to the local destination. This
statement is not applicable when you back up to Tivoli® Storage
Manager.
AutoSelect does not make more selections
when a differential or incremental backup is selected and no
associated full backup can be found.
- FromServer
- Enter the name of the server where the original backup is completed.
The default value is a wildcard character (*).
- Instant Restore
- Set this option
to True to use volume level snapshot restore
(instant restore) for local VSS backups if the backup exists on
SAN-attached volumes. Set this option to
False to disable instant restore, which
bypasses volume-level copy and uses file-level copy (fast restore)
to restore the files from a local VSS backup. The default value is
True, which uses volume level
snapshot restore if it is supported.
This option
is available for VSS operations only. When you use instant
restore for SAN Volume Controller earlier
than version 5.1 or DS8000®, a best practice is to make sure that any
previous background copies (that involve the volumes that are
being restored) are completed before you initiate the instant
restore.
This option is automatically set to
False during
restoreinto operations.
In an
instant restore operation, files on the destination file system
are overwritten. Also, an instant restore of incremental and
differential backups are automatically converted to file-level
restores. An instant restore operation requires that the drive
or volume where the mailbox database is located must be
available. Any other process or application must not have access
to the drive or volume.
- Mount Databases After Restore
- Select
the MountDatabasesAfterRestore option to
automatically mount databases after the recovery completes.
- Replay Restored and Current Logs
- Use the ReplayRestoredANDCurrentLogs option
to replay any transaction log entries that display in the current
active-transaction log. This log includes both current and restored
logs. This option is the default value. This option is not supported
for instant restore.
