Using a Snap Creator custom action to complete restore processing

Contributors

You can use a Snap Creator custom action to complete processing of restores originated outside of Snap Creator.

You can perform this action in the Snap Creator CLI only.

  1. In the Snap Creator CLI, enter the following command: snapcreator.exe ---action custom --server server --port port --user user --passwd password --profile profile --config config --params snapname=snapshot_name datapath=datapath restoretype=u2m | su2m restoretime="MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS" disablereplication=Y|N

    where

    • server is the host name or IP address of the Snap Creator Server.

    • port is the port number where the Snap Creator Server is running.

    • user is the name of the Snap Creator user.

    • password is the Snap Creator user's password.

      Note You can omit the --passwd option if you do not want to type the password in clear text. Snap Creator will prompt for the password when you execute the command

    • profile is the name of the Snap Creator profile.

    • config is the name of the Snap Creator configuration file.

    • snapshot_name is the name of the Snapshot copy from which you want to restore the file.

    • datapath is the pathname of the directory to which you want to restore the file.

    • restoretype is the type of restore to be performed:

      • u2m performs an up-to-the-minute restore.

      • su2m performs a selectable up-to-the-minute restore. Specify the date and time to which you want to play forward Domino transaction logs in MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS format in the --restoretime option. For example, 01/23/2014 12:45:00.

    • disablereplication disables Domino replication:

      • Enter N (default) to allow Domino replication. The plug-in uses an existing Domino replica ID for the restored database file.

        Note An alternative method to allow Domino replication is to leave this parameter out of the command.

      • Enter Y to disable Domino replication. The plug-in sets a new Domino replica ID for the restored database file. NOTE: Appending --verbose to the command will show additional information about the restore operation. Otherwise, you are immediately returned to the command prompt when the command finishes executing.
