Introduction Introduction These technical notes provide information about consistently backing up a live (HOT) EMC Documentum Content server and recovering it by using CYA HOTBackup and EMC NetWorker, without making the system go offline. You can contact CYA Technologies, Inc., which is an enchoice Company, to obtain information about CYA HOTBackup. You can directly purchase CYA products from CYA, EMC, or authorized CYA partners by using the following websites: http://www.cya.com http://www.emc.com Backup and Recovery of EMC Documentum Content Server by Using CYA HOTBackup and EMC NetWorker Technical Notes 5

CYA HOTBackup software requirements CYA HOTBackup software requirements Content server software requirements The following sections describe the software requirements for performing hot backup. Table 2 on page 6 lists the Content server software requirements. For supported software versions, refer to the appropriate EMC Documentum Content server documentation. Table 2 Content server software requirements Backup server software requirements Content server Operating System RDBMS 6.0, SP1 Windows Oracle, SQL Server 6.0, SP1 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Oracle 6.0, SP1 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Oracle 6.0, SP1 Solaris Oracle 6.5, SP1-SP3 Windows Oracle, SQL Server 6.5, SP1-SP3 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Oracle 6.5, SP1-SP3 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Oracle 6.5, SP1-SP3 Solaris Oracle 6.6 Windows Oracle, SQL Server 6.6 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Oracle 6.6 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Oracle 6.6 Solaris Oracle 6.7 Windows Oracle, SQL Server 6.7 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Oracle 6.7 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Oracle 6.7 Solaris Oracle EMC NetWorker 7.x is required. Appropriate NetWorker database modules are required if you plan to use NetWorker to back up the databases in your environment. Alternatively, HOTBackup supports the usage of database-specific backup software such as SQLServer VSS, Oracle RMAN and so on. Application server software requirements Apache Tomcat 6.x or 7.x is required. 6 Backup and Recovery of EMC Documentum Content Server by Using CYA HOTBackup and EMC NetWorker Technical Notes

Performing hot and consistent backup for EMC Documentum Performing hot and consistent backup for EMC Documentum CYA Technologies, Inc. provides recovery software solutions that ensure integrity, accessibility, and authenticity of content and its metadata stored in EMC Documentum. The software leverages the existing components of your backup solution that help user in performing a consistent backup of all EMC Documentum components, avoiding the following: Orphaned content: Content files that are not referenced in the database A very small number of content files that are not referenced in the database can be backed up. This ensures that no broken links exist. Broken links: Database references that point to content that does not exist CYA HOTBackup: Is an automation and control application to simplify the steps that are required to take a backup of the EMC Documentum environment while it remains live (hot). Is deployed through a web application server, and seamlessly integrated with EMC NetWorker. All operations are performed through the web interface. Controls the background processing jobs within EMC Documentum, and the order in which each EMC Documentum server component is backed up. This specialized procedure ensures the consistency of backups, and the EMC Documentum system remain live, thereby allowing users to continue processing.

Recovering your system from EMC NetWorker Recovering your system from EMC NetWorker To recover your system from EMC NetWorker: 1. Choose the NetWorker recovery method. The following are the main methods to recover data: Recovery by file selection (index-based recovery) Recovery by save set selection Recovery by file selection is the most flexible and easy-to-use method to recover data. However, save set recovery is preferable, especially when there is a large amount of data to be recovered or data is not available for quick access because it has passed its browse policy. Recovery by file selection Recover data by file selection when: The exact name of the file or directory to be recovered is unknown, and you want to browse the file system. A directed recovery is required. A directed recovery is a recovery where data that was backed up from one computer is recovered to another computer. Only the files that are marked for recovery are recovered (not extra files). It is important to keep the recovery operation as simple as possible. A save set recovery can be a more complex operation. Recovery by save set selection Recover data by save set selection when: You want to recover a large number of lost files, for example, in case of a total disk failure. In this case, you do not have to mark individual files for recovery. The recovery of extra files is acceptable. Quick access to the backup data is not available because the data's browse policy has expired. Quick access can be recovered by re-creating the browsable client file index with the scanner program. However, this can be a time-consuming process. Memory on the recovery host is an issue. Recovering by save set selection requires less memory than recovering by file selection. 2. Use the mminfo command to check whether the list of save sets is available for recovery. The mminfo command reports information about NetWorker media and save sets. Use the mminfo command to view the list of EMC Documentum save sets available for recovery. 18 Backup and Recovery of EMC Documentum Content Server by Using CYA HOTBackup and EMC NetWorker Technical Notes

Recovering your system from EMC NetWorker For example: 3. Recover workflow order in which EMC Documentum components should be recovered. NetWorker supports the recovery of the following components from existing backups: Installation and Configuration Files Storage Areas Full-Text Indexes DB For consistency, these EMC Documentum components must be recovered in the exact specified order. Database and database log backups must be recovered by using the appropriate methods, depending on how the backups were actually performed. 4. Use NetWorker User program to browse and recover SA/ICF/FTI. Recovering data on UNIX systems a. To recover data to a UNIX client: Start the nwrecover program by typing the following command: nwrecover Use the -s servername option with nwrecover to specify a particular NetWorker server on the network to be used when recovering data. The servers file, which is located in /nsr/res/servers, contains an entry for each available server. If the -s option is not entered, and there is only one server detected, that server will be automatically connected. If there are no servers detected, or if there is more than one server available, the Change Server dialog box that allows you to choose the server appears. Backup and Recovery of EMC Documentum Content Server by Using CYA HOTBackup and EMC NetWorker Technical Notes 19

Recovering your system from EMC NetWorker Use the -c client option to specify a particular NetWorker client on the network. If the -c option is not used, the local client is assumed. The nwrecover program displays a representation of the client's file system. The NetWorker Recover - Browse Time <xx/xx/xxxx xx:xx:xx xx> page appears as shown in Figure 11 on page 20. Figure 11 NetWorker recover - Browse time b. Select those files and directories that you want to recover. Select either individual SA or ALL SA for recovery. c. Click the Start icon to start the recovery. d. In the Recover Options dialog box, select the appropriate options, and click OK. The time taken to recover the files depends on file size, network traffic, server load, and tape positioning. During this time, messages appear so that you can monitor the recovery. If the recovery is successful, a message appears as shown in Figure 12 on page 20. Figure 12 Successful recovery - Unix e. Similarly, recover ICF and FTI components of EMC Documentum. 20 Backup and Recovery of EMC Documentum Content Server by Using CYA HOTBackup and EMC NetWorker Technical Notes

Recovering your system from EMC NetWorker Recovering data on Windows systems The information in these sections refers to using the NetWorker User program to recover data. To recover data to a Windows client by using the NetWorker User program: a. In the NetWorker User program, click Recover. The Source Client dialog box appears. b. Select the source client that has the data that you want to recover, and click OK. The local client is the default selection. c. Select the destination client for the recovered data, and click OK. The local client is the default selection. d. In the left pane of the Recover window, click the appropriate directory folder as shown in Figure 13 on page 21. Figure 13 NetWorker User - Recover e. Select those files and directories that you want to recover. f. Click the Start icon to begin the recovery. The time taken to recover the files depends on file size, network traffic, server load, and tape positioning. During this time, messages appear so that you can monitor the progress of the recovery. If the recovery is successful, a message appears as shown in Figure 14 on page 22. Backup and Recovery of EMC Documentum Content Server by Using CYA HOTBackup and EMC NetWorker Technical Notes 21

For information on DB recovery, refer to NetWorker Module specific documentation such as NetWorker Module for Oracle, NetWorker Module for SQL, and so on. 22 Backup and Recovery of EMC Documentum Content Server by Using CYA HOTBackup and EMC NetWorker Technical Notes

Performing a Granular (object) Recovery Performing a Granular (object) Recovery CYA SmartRecovery is required to recover data from logical and operational incidents. It performs hot and consistent backups that enable one or several objects that have been lost or corrupted due to logical failures, and have to be quickly and easily recovered to the repository in their original states by a single administrator - all while EMC Documentum is online. CYA SmartRecovery works seamlessly with your enterprise backup solutions to help you meet or exceed RTOs, and achieve RPOs of just 15 minutes. CYA SmartRecovery leverages the EMC Documentum Foundation Classes (the EMC Documentum Content server APIs), and integrates with the same components as the Content server. Recovering information is as simple as browsing the folders and the documents from CYA SmartRecovery's intuitive interface and selecting or querying what you want to recover. Table 3 on page 23 lists the features of CYA SmartRecovery and their benefits. Table 3 Features of CYA SmartRecovery Highlights and features Hot, granular recovery of EMC Documentum objects (content and metadata) Hot and consistent backups of content and metadata Automatic record purge Time-based recovery option Corruption detection Lost and corrupt information tracking One-step folder recovery Multi-language support Minimal system requirements Fast deployment Benefits Ensures business continuity and helps meet/exceed SLAs by enabling one or several objects to be quickly recovered to the repository in their original states while EMC Documentum stays online. Maximizes uptime, ensures data integrity, and facilitates rapid response to audits, inspections, and litigation by capturing, validating, and preserving objects in a synchronized and single pass without any downtime. Corrects data consistency issues that are caused by CDP, snapshots, and other technologies. Aligns with EMC Documentum Retention Policy Services (RPS) to destroy content and metadata after its removal from EMC Documentum. Also, it enables administrators to specify a retention period which when expired triggers permanent deletion of records from CYA capture sets. Enhances existing disaster recovery strategies by working seamlessly with traditional solutions to reduce RPOs to 15 minutes in case of a disaster. Data Integrity Module (DIM) enables proactive resolution of referential integrity issues by identifying broken relationships (corruptions) that typically exist in repositories at the application level, that is, between a document and its associated metadata. Ensures rapid and painless recovery by enabling administrators to see at a glance what has been lost/deleted from the repository. Facilitates fast recovery by allowing administrators to view the folder structure of the docbase within the CYA SmartRecovery interface, and select folder names to quickly recover all or specific files in the folders. Supports international character sets for easy global deployment. Utilizes the same memory and CPU resources as just one EMC Documentum user, allowing CYA capture jobs to run as often as every 15 minutes. CYA SmartRecovery can be deployed, configured, and tested in three days. Backup and Recovery of EMC Documentum Content Server by Using CYA HOTBackup and EMC NetWorker Technical Notes 23

Migrating from EMC NetWorker Module for Documentum Migrating from EMC NetWorker Module for Documentum Similar to EMC NetWorker Module for Documentum, CYA HOTBackup leverages EMC NetWorker to perform backups of your EMC NetWorker Module for Documentum environment. Because EMC NetWorker still serves as the back-end for CYA HOTBackup, many aspects of the EMC NetWorker Module for Documentum configuration can be reused when CYA HOTBackup is implemented. Existing EMC NetWorker Module for Documentum customers follow the standard installation procedures for a new installation of CYA HOTBackup. After CYA HOTBackup is fully configured and backups are scheduled through this application, the EMC NetWorker Module for Documentum backup jobs can be stopped. The existing NetWorker backups taken by EMC NetWorker Module for Documentum should be kept for the reminder of their retention period, and can be recovered at any time by following the standard NetWorker recovery procedure. CYA HOTBackup starts creating new NetWorker backups, which are used for any disaster recovery that does not require a rollback to a point-in-time earlier than the CYA HOTBackup installation. Existing Volume Pools that are actually created for EMC NetWorker Module for Documentum backups can be reused for CYA HOTBackup backups. Any existing scripts that were created for backing up the databases by using EMC NetWorker Module for Documentum can easily be re-used by the CYA HOTBackup application. CYA HOTBackup Administration Guide has detailed configuration instructions. 24 Backup and Recovery of EMC Documentum Content Server by Using CYA HOTBackup and EMC NetWorker Technical Notes
