Disaster Recovery; Monitoring Sessions; Troubleshooting - HP Data Protector A.06.11 Integration Manual

Disaster recovery

Disaster recovery is a very complex process, involving products from different vendors.
Therefore, you need to check the instructions from the database/application vendor
on how to prepare for disaster recovery.
To do a disaster recovery of a SharePoint Portal Server farm:
1. Reinstall the SharePoint Portal Server farm (including Windows Server 2003,
IIS, SQL Server). For details, see the Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server
documentation.
2. Reinstall the Data Protector integration components and import the SharePoint
Portal Server clients in the Data Protector cell.
3. Recover the master databases of all the SQL Server instances. For details, see
"Recovering the master
4. Restore IIS databases to corresponding front-end Web server clients using the
Data Protector filesystem restore.
5. Restore the encryption key (if it was used for the single sign-on service). For
details, see the Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server documentation.
6. Restore other SPS objects (site databases, content databases, index servers,
document library, single sign-on database) using the Data Protector SPS
integration.

Monitoring sessions

You can monitor currently running sessions in the Data Protector GUI. When you run
a backup or restore session, a monitor window shows the progress of the session.
Closing the GUI does not affect the session.
You can also monitor sessions from any Data Protector client with the User
Interface component installed, using the Monitor context.
On how to monitor a session, see the online Help index: "viewing currently running
sessions".
