Backup Central

Hey All,

Wondering if anyone knows of a way to move BMR data easily between environments?

e.g. I’ve done a BMR backup in my production environment, and want to recover that server in my DR environment (which is actually a backup environment in its own right).

Is there any way to export the contents of the BMR DB and import it back into my DR environment?

I’ve been looking at bmrpans which looks like ti could potentially be used to dump out and import back in the config I need, but struggling to find a command set that will do it.

According to Symantec, BMR database can not moved between NetBackup domains.

What I would try if I was you, is to move the BMR database files to the DR master server and override his BMR database (copy it first). If you can see the desired BMR data at the DR GUI, restore the client and at the end, replace the BMR database with the original.
I do not know where the drives database is, so be sure you have them in the DR netbackup BMR. And you must be sour that NO backup are running during this procedure.


As I have never test it consider this as brainstorming. You have to test it in a test environment first.
