Cluster backups from the legacy Teradata Extension for NetBackup consist of two separate NetBackup jobs: the dictionary backup job and the cluster data backup job. It is necessary to separately migrate the images for both jobs using the TARA migration process. In addition, the migrated dictionary job must be manually edited prior to using it to perform a restore.

  1. Click Teradata Tiered Archive/Restore Architecture > Task > Restore. The RESTORE object selection dialog box appears.

    In the following example, a cluster backup of the DK_TEST database was originally created with the legacy Teradata Extension for NetBackup. Two images were migrated separately: one for the dictionary (dk_dct) and one for the cluster data (dk_data).



  2. Select the dictionary dataset, then click File > Build ARC script. The Script Options dialog box appears.
  3. Ensure that the job is single-stream when filling out the text boxes.
  4. Click Save, then Preview. The Script Editor dialog box appears.


  5. Highlight DATA in the RESTORE DATA TABLES line of text. Change DATA to DICTIONARY.
  6. Click Save. The Save Script dialog box appears.
  7. Accept the script name shown or type a new name, then click Save. The Script Editor dialog box appears.
  8. Click Launch.
