Solstice Backup 5.1 Administration Guide

How To Recover Previous Backup Data Under a New Client Name

  1. Delete the Client resource configured for the old client name.

  2. Create a new Client resource for the new client name.

  3. Shut down the Backup daemons.


    # nsr_shutdown
    
  4. Delete the index directory that was automatically created for the new client.

    If you simply copy the new client index over the old client index directory, the result is a nesting of the new client index inside the old client index directory.

  5. Use the mv command to rename the old client's file index directory.


    # mv /nsr/index/old-client /nsr/index/new-client
