help with omnir from Data Protector A09.07 CLI and performance.

Randall Bc

Hi people:

I have a task to recover  filesystems full backups from LTO5 tapes.

The origin server name is manchuria.mycompany.com and the restore server is dumpfiles.mycompany.com.

I need to restore data on other paths and with no overwrite option. As far I have read the CLIreference.pdf have this command line

omnir -session 2020/02/17-5 -full -host manchuria.mycompany.com  -targetdumpfiles.mycompany.com  -no_overwrite -targetdir F:\recovers\2020_02-17-5  -load high -report minor

It is the rigth command. The origin server is linux/unix and the restore server is windows 2012. I need to recover all the data on the windows  pathdir. Using as much Bandwidth as can both servers.

My other question is that actual DP Server name is bkpserver.mycompany.com and has 8 GB de RAM and a pagefile of 8 GB. Sometimes when use the GUI the restore button takes 30 minutes to show the rest of the GUI. My question is will larger pagefile increase performance and lower those times ?

Thanks in advance; for any input.

    I need to start by telling that 9.07 is out of support for many, many years now. With DP23.4 we are more than 20 (!!!) versions later now.

    Commenting on the performance issue will be impossible. This will need troubleshooting to understand where the bottleneck is.

    Regarding the omnir command, there are a few issues. First the object needs to be specified. If the source object is on Linux then the object can be specified with "-filesystem". After that you can specifie a session if you like. If that  an incremental session and you want to restore everything up to the corresponding full backup the "-full" could be used. The "-no_overwrite" and and "-target" options are fine. Next I would use "-tree" and "-as". It would be something like:

    omnir -filesystem manchuria.mycompany.com:<MountPoint> <Label> -session 2020/02/17-5 -full -no_overwrite -target dumpfiles.mycompany.com -tree <Path_to_Restore> -as <Target_Path>

    The real challenge may be to specify the Target Path on Windows and I'm not really sure it will even be possible using omnir. Maybe if you can mount the directory on the C: volume!? This is something you need to try.

    But wouldn't it be much easier to use the GUI? Is there a specific reason why this needs to be done using a CLI command?
