Recover Lost Data from Replica

To recover all lost data from a Replica

1. On the Manager, from the Scenario pane select the desired scenario and stop it.
2. [For database applications only] stop the database services on the Master host.
3. On the Manager, from the scenario folder select the Replica host:

   Note: If multiple Replica servers participate in the required scenario, select the Replica from which you want to recover data.

   The Restore Data option is enabled.

4. From the Tools menu, select Restore Data, or click the Restore Data button on the Standard toolbar.

   The Recovery Method page of the Restore Data wizard appears.

   Note: If the Data Rewind property is set to On, another Restore Data dialog will appear. In this case, select the first option - Replace all data on Master with the data on Replica.

5. Click Next. The Synchronization Method page appears.
6. Make sure that the Block Synchronization method is selected, and click Finish.

   Once you finished initiating the recovery process, CA ARCserve RHA builds a temporary reverse tree using the selected Replica as the root, and the Master as the terminating node. After the Master recovery process ends, the temporary scenario is deleted, and you receive the following message in the Event pane: Synchronization finished.

7. By default, once a data recovery occurs a Synchronization Report is generated.

   Now, the replication process can restart following the original scenario.
