To create a cold recovery point manually

Stop the database manually.

Use Backup Exec System Recovery to run a backup immediately using the

Run Backup or One-time Backup feature.

See “Running a One Time Backup” on page 57.

Backup Exec System Recovery instantaneously snaps a “virtual volume

recovery point” of the database.

Manually restart the database anytime after the recovery point progress bar

appears in the Monitor page of the console.

While the database is restarted, the actual recovery point is already being

created from the virtual volume recovery point.

Creating a cold recovery point automatically

When you automate the creation of a cold recovery point of a non-VSS-aware

database, you run a command file in the backup job, before data capture, to stop

(quiesce) the database momentarily and commit all transaction logs to the hard

disk. Backup Exec System Recovery will then instantaneously snap a “virtual

volume recovery point.” A second command file is run in the backup to

automatically restart the database while the recovery point is created from the

virtual volume recovery point.

Because the virtual volume snapshot takes only a few seconds to create, the

database is in the recovery point state momentarily, resulting in a minimal number

of created log files.

Note: In cases where the domain controller is running on a Windows 2000 server

without VSS support, the Active Directory database must first be backed up using

NTbackup prior to using Backup Exec System Recovery to protect the full system.

This process can be automated by running command files in the backup.

See “Run command files during a backup ” on page 60.
