Before you begin

Ensure the following points are addressed before you perform granular restore. Configured Snapshot Manager and VM to be protected with granular restore enabled have the following requirements:

  • (Microsoft Azure and Azure Stack Hub) Even if Snapshot Manager is not deployed in the same subscription and region as the connected VM, but if a backup schedule is configured as part of the protection plan, then granular restore can be performed. For snapshot-only protection plan schedule, for both Azure and Azure Stack Hub, you need to deploy the Snapshot Manager host in the same subscription and region as the VMs.

  • Amazon AWS: The Snapshot Manager host and the connected VM must be in the same account and region.

  • Google Cloud Platform: The Snapshot Manager host and the connected VM must be in the same project.

  • The cloud plug-in must be configured to protect the assets in the region in which the Snapshot Manager host is deployed.

  • The host must be in a connected state and must have required supported configuration.

  • The host must have the fsConsistent and indexable flags enabled when connected. The indexable flag is applicable for a snapshot-only protection plan schedule.

  • Protection plan must have the Enable Granular restore for files and folders check box enabled.

  • Apart from the boot disk and disk that is mounted on "/cloudpoint", no extra disk should be attached to Snapshot Manager instance explicitly.

  • File systems on the host must be supported.

    See List of supported file systems.

  • Configure port 5671 and 443 for open Snapshot Manager host.

  • For agentless restore, in Linux systems, configure the port 22 on the indexable virtual machines. For Windows platform, configure the ports 135, 445 and the dynamic/fixed WMI-IN port on the indexable virtual machines.

  • If you want to restore volume to same the virtual machine and location, you must detach existing volume and free the slot and then try to restore.
