Restoring files and folders from an array-based snapshot
This topic describes how to restore individual items from array-based snapshots.
The Backup, Archive, and Restore client interface displays the files and folders from the primary backup copy.
To restore files and folders from an array-based snapshot
- Start the restore, as follows:
Windows
In the Windows Backup, Archive, and Restore client interface:
Click File > Select Files and Folders to Restore, and then select from Normal Backup.
UNIX
In the Java-based Backup, Archive, and Restore client interface:
Click the Restore Files tab.
In the Restore type drop-down list, select Normal Backups.
Click View > Refresh.
The following is an example of the restore window on a Windows computer:
- Select a snapshot as follows:
Windows
In the NetBackup History pane, select the snapshot to restore.
The snapshot appears in the All Folders pane.
UNIX
Open the Date Range or the Backup History to select a snapshot to restore. Select a snapshot from the list and click OK.
The snapshot contents appear in the Directory Structure pane.
- Expand the directory tree and click the check box next to the items that you want to restore.
- The following is an example of the Restore Marked Files dialog box:
To set up how to restore the selected items, do the following:
On Windows, click Actions > Restore.
On UNIX, click Restore.
- In the Restore Marked Files dialog box, select from the following options to meet the requirements for the restore.
For details about each option, see the Backup, Archive, and Restore online Help.
Restore Destination Choices
Select one of the following destination options:
Restore everything to its original location (default)
Restore everything to a different location (maintaining existing structure)
Restore individual folders and files to different locations or Restore individual directories and files to different locations
Create and restore to a new virtual hard disk file
Restore Options
Select from the following restore options in the Windows Backup, Archive, and Restore interface:
Restore without access control attributes (Windows clients only)
Skip verification and force rollback
Force rollback even if it destroys later snapshots
If the destination file already exists, indicate what NetBackup should do:
Overwrite existing files
Restore the file using a temporary file name
Do not restore the file
Select from the following restore options in the Java-based Backup, Archive, and Restore interface:
Overwrite existing files
Restore directories without crossing mount points
Restore without access control attributes (Windows clients only)
Rename hard links
Rename soft links
Force rollback even if it destroys later snapshots
Job Priority
To change the priority of this restore, click the Override default priority and then set a priority number.
The default is 90000. The available range is 0 to 99999. Higher numbers are higher priority.
- Click Start Restore.
- To view the restore progress, click Yes in the View Status or the View Progress dialog box.
The restore may take a few minutes to complete. After you start a restore operation, you can close Backup, Archive, and Restore and perform other tasks. NetBackup continues the operation in the background.
