Restoring the Enterprise Vault Directory database

Use the following steps to restore the Enterprise Vault Directory database. You also can redirect the restore of the Directory database to a different Microsoft SQL Server computer.

Note:

The Enterprise Vault Agent automatically runs a physical consistency check of the Directory database after the database is restored.

See About consistency checks for Enterprise Vault databases and Compliance and Discovery Accelerator databases.

To restore the Enterprise Vault Directory database

  1. On the navigation bar, click the arrow next to Restore.

  2. Click New Restore Job.

  3. In the View by Resource pane, expand an Enterprise Vault installation that contains the Directory database that you want to restore.

    For example, expand Directory on <Computer name>.

  4. Expand Directory DB (<SQL Server name>/<instance>/EnterpriseVaultDirectory).

  5. Select the backup set that you want to restore.

  6. In the task pane, under Settings, click Enterprise Vault.

  7. Click Terminate the database connections automatically when restoring selected databases. (Do not termnate database connections for Vault Store database.)

    If you do not select this option, you must stop the Enterprise Vault Admin and Directory services on the Enterprise Vault computer where you want to restore the Directory database. If other Enterprise Vault servers connect to the Directory database, stop the Admin and Directory services on those computers too.

  8. Select other restore options that you want to use.

    See Enterprise Vault restore options.

  9. Do one of the following:

    • In the task pane, under Frequency, click Schedule.

    • Set the scheduling options.

      See Scheduling jobs.

    • Click Submit.

  10. After the restore successfully completes, restart all Directory and Admin services.
