To use Teradata TARA to restore one or more backup images that were created by the legacy Teradata Extension for NetBackup product, those backup images must first be migrated to the TARA product. The backup images that are stored in the legacy image repository must be recognized by the TARA product for a seamless migration to TARA. To do this, the image names must reside in TARA’s job information repository (JIR). The migration process consists of creating a TARA job record for each backup image that is selected.
Although new TARA backups integrate dictionaries and table data, the migrated backup jobs will remain separated. Therefore, ensure that for any cluster jobs, both the dictionary job and the table data are migrated.
