You can restore an entire NFS or CIFS primary storage system from a SnapVault secondary storage system, but the restore cannot be to a primary storage system that has a blank hard disk. There must be an operating system on the disk.
To restore an entire primary storage system, complete the following steps.
| 1 | Reinstall the operating system on the primary storage system. |
| 2 | Reformat the file system as the original file system was formatted. |
| 3 | Install the SnapVault agent. See Installing Open Systems SnapVault agents from CD-ROM or Installing Open Systems SnapVault agents from the NOW site for details. |
| 4 | Restore the backed-up directories using the svrestore command. See Using the svrestore command for details. |
