Let us take a closer look at how the jetbackup disaster recovery works. With the support of our Server management support services, we can give you a complete note on the whole process.

What does “Disaster Recovery” mean?

The “Disaster Recovery” method allows the users to recover a whole server following a disaster. Consider the fact that our server crashed. We also need to restore all accounts from the backup. We must take the following action to set up the jetbackup disaster recovery:

1: Firstly, Disable orphan backup deletion:

• To do this go to the JetBackup.
• After that, go to Settings.
• Under the General Settings section of the jetbackup, set “Days to keep orphan backups” to 0.

2:Create a new backup destination – Point it precisely where it was on the previous server.

3: Under “Choose indexing type,” select “incremental” and “others” for the newly formed backup location.

4: Create a new “indexing only” task and point it to the backup location we just set up. We have to ensure the appropriate setups of the backups folder location.

5: Clearing the indexing cache and re indexes all backups. From the server’s command line interface, enter “jetcli backup -vfR clear cache.”

6: Go to “Restore Manager” by going to JetBackup -> Disaster Recovery. Backups are shown as “Orphaned” for all accounts. We can choose the accounts to restore and add them to the restoration queue.

After that, we can restore the orphan backup deletion – JetBackup -> Settings -> General Settings, adjust “Days to keep orphan backups.” The default is seven days.

Restore From Disaster Recovery

JetBackup can do disaster recovery by keeping the JetBackup internal database at the location. First, JetBackup must restore the internal database so that it has all of the necessary account information.

• Firstly, we have to provide the backup location details for the Jetbackup to work on the info.
• Following that, we must select the database backup (JetBackup option) from which we wish to restore.
• As the Jetbackup database is encrypted, the root Master, Private Key, from the prior installation or old server is necessary.
• After this process, JetBackup is ready to restore the accounts. This completes the jetbackup disaster recovery process.
• Simply choose the accounts to restore them and click “Next Page” to proceed. Finally, the accounts are in the recovery queue; we have to wait while it restores the accounts.

We will have control over the number of restore actions operating at the same time since JetBackup v4.0.12. This should reduce total restore time on the basis of the server’s performance.

Setting the “Concurrent processes” to three. For example, will result in three active restorations until the reasoning of all the accounts. This field’s value is actively chaged.

At this moment, we can go to the WHM by clicking the ‘Finish & Login to Panel’ button; accounts are being restored in the background. We may always return to the queue to check on its status.
