Restoring file-level backups

About restoring file-level backups

The Plug‑in for VMware provides the following methods for restoring file-level backups.

Restores using shared network drives: This method does not require an instance of NetVault Client running inside the virtual machine. Restores are performed to the shared network drives on the virtual machines, using the Plug-in for FileSystem installed on the plug-in host. Since the Plug-in for FileSystem is automatically installed on the NetVault Client, no additional software is required for this type of restore.
Restores using native Plug-in for FileSystem: This method is suitable if an instance of NetVault Client is already running inside the virtual machine. The virtual machine is treated as any other physical NetVault Client for the file system restores.
Restores using file-level indexing for continuous data protection (CDP) backups: When restoring files from a CDP backup, the file-level indexing occurs automatically during the restore process rather than the backup process. This method reduces the amount of time required for a backup job. File-level recovery of a CDP backup is only available with a QoreStor storage device version 7.1.2 or later.
