If an export copy of the Disaster Recovery (DR) backup metadata does not exist, you must retrieve the metadata from the backup. Depending on where the DR backup is located, you can retrieve the DR backup using one of the following methods:
-
If the DR backup is on a tape or disk media, you can use the Media Explorer tool to catalog and restore the data.
See Retrieving Disaster Recovery (DR) Backups Using Media Explorer for more information.
-
If the DR backup is on a tape media, you can use Tape Catalog feature to catalog and restore the data.
See Retrieving Disaster Recovery (DR) Backups Using Tape Catalog for more information.
-
If the DR backup is in cloud storage, you can use the Cloud Test Tool to restore the data.
See Retrieving Disaster Recovery (DR) Backups Using Cloud Test Tool for more information.
Once the DR backup is retrieved, you can rebuild a new CommServe host, using one of the following methods:
-
Install the CommServe in the standby CommServe by selecting the Use Existing Database option during the CommServe installation. For more information see Installing the CommServe Server.
-
Restore the CommServe databases from the DR backup to the new CommServe host. For instructions, see Recovering the CommServe Database.
