Prerequisites for agent based files and folder recovery

  • You can perform individual files and folders recovery from source AHV VM backed up image, only if guest operating system and the file system, is compatible for creating file system mappings. Refer Nutanix AHV SCL for guest operating system and file system support for individual files restores, Support for NetBackup version in virtual environments.

  • You can perform individual files recovery from source AHV VM backed up. When backup is performed with NetBackup version 9.1 and later for NetBackup primary server, media server and backup host.

  • Agent based restore is performed if the target host has NetBackup client or server installed. NetBackup version of such client or target host must be 8.1or later for Windows and 8.2 or later for Linux.

    Note:

    If you select the Linux version 8.1 or prior, agentless restore options are displayed.

    You must specify the NetBackup configured host name or IP in the target host to follow the agent based restore.

  • If logged-in NetBackup user has sufficient permission to view NetBackup hosts, then you can browse the list of NetBackup hosts and pick the one where you want to restore files or folders.

  • If logged-in user does not have sufficient permissions to view NetBackup hosts, then you need to manually specify the target host. You must specify the NetBackup configured hostname or IP in the target host for the agent based restore

  • Following are minimum RBAC permissions required for a user to do agent based files and folders restore. For more details on required RBAC permissions, see NetBackup Web UI Administrator Guide.
