Import Restored Data Store to the RPS

To import the restored data store to the RPS, you will need to use the Arcserve UDP Console. The Import Data Store feature lets you add a data store to the recovery point server. You can import any existing data store to a recovery point server.

Follow these steps:

1. From the Console, click the resources tab.
2. From the left pane, navigate to Destinations, and click Recovery Point Servers.

   The Destinations: Recovery Point Servers page is displayed.

3. Perform one of the following actions:
   • Right click a recovery point server.
   • Select a recovery point server, and from the center menu click the Actions drop-down list.
   • Select a recovery point server, and from the right pane click the Actions drop-down list.
4. Click Import Data Store.

   The Import a Data Store page is displayed.

5. Perform the following actions, and click Next:
   • Click Browse and select the Backup Destination Folder from where you want to import the data store.
   • If necessary, enter the Encryption Password.

     Note: If the data store is not encrypted, you can leave this field empty.

   After authenticating the Backup Destination folder, the Import a Data Store page displays the details of the data store.

6. If necessary, modify the data store details and click Save.

   When the restored data store is imported, Arcserve UDP will continue to read the index, hash, and data destinations from the data store configuration settings and show the actual paths where data store originally resided. After the import is completed, these path destinations need to be changed to the new restored paths.

   Note: You cannot enable or disable the encryption option for an existing data store.

   The data store is added to the recovery point server and displayed at the Destinations: Recovery Point Servers dialog.

   Upon completion of a successful import, a green check mark is displayed next to the corresponding data store name.

You have successfully restored a deduplication data store from a tape.
