Dell Replay Manager Version 7.8 Administrator’s Guide
Recover System Databases
The Expose action in Replay Manager can be used as part of a recovery plan for the following system databases: master, model, and msdb. Use Replay Manager to recover these system databases by manually copying system database files from exposed volumes back to their original location.
About this task
NOTE:This method will recover
the system databases back to the point in time that the restore point
was created. Any modifications to the system databases (such as adding
or removing users) performed after the restore point was created will
need to be manually repeated. In addition, any databases created after
the restore point will be missing. You can reattach these databases.
Steps
- Expose a restore point that contains the system
databases to recover.
NOTE:Do not select the Make exposed volumes writable option.
- Shut down the SQL Server service.
- Using the Windows Explorer, copy the files from the exposed volumes or SMB file shares containing the system database files to the original location, replacing any existing files.
- Start the SQL Server service.
