Restoring individual files on Windows
Use the following procedure to restore individual files on Windows.
To restore individual files on Windows
- To list the identifiers of current snapshots, use the bpfis command with the query option:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpfis query
This returns the ID (FIS IDs) of all current snapshots. For example:
INF - BACKUP START 3629 INF - FIS IDs: 1036458302 INF - EXIT STATUS 0: the requested operation was successfully completed
- For each snapshot identifier, enter bpfis query again, specifying the snapshot ID:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpfis query -id 1036458302
This returns the path or the original file system (snapshot source) and the GUID (Global Universal Identifier) representing the snapshot volume. For example:
INF - BACKUP START 2708 INF - Snapshot method: FlashSnap INF - Snapshot image host : tire INF - Snapshot image owner : NBU INF - Time created : Sat Oct 25 15:26:04 2003 INF - REMAP FILE BACKUP H:\ USING \\?\Volume{54aa666f-0547-11d8-b023-00065bde58d1}\ OPTIONS:ALT_PATH_PREFIX=C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\ Temp\_vrts_frzn_img_2408,FITYPE=MIRROR,MNTPOINT=H:\,FSTYPE=NTFS INF - EXIT STATUS 0: the requested operation was successfully completed
In this example the snapshot file system is H:\ and the GUID is \\?\Volume{54aa666f-0547-11d8-b023-00065bde58d1}\.
To restore individual files from the snapshot volume:
Mount the GUID to an empty NTFS directory:
mountvol C:\Temp\Mount \\?\Volume{54aa666f-0547-11d8-b023-00065bde58d1}\
Copy the file to be restored from the temporary snapshot mount point (in this example, C:\Temp\Mount)to the primary volume.
