NetVault Plug-in for FileSystem 12.3 - User Guide

Restoring an item using the Quick Save feature

Beginning with release 12.3, Plug‑in for FileSystem users can use the Quick Save feature in the catalog search to save a particular item. There are three prerequisites for using this feature:

•
Install NetVault Backup 12.3 or later on the server.
•
Configure Catalog Search on the server.
•
Catalogue the backups.
To restore an item using the Quick Save feature:
1
Complete a search for the item that you want to restore by following the steps in Searching for files in savesets.
 
* 
NOTE: Quick Save applies only to files smaller than 10 MB. If you change the default file size in the search to greater than 10 MB, the default automatically resets.
2
On the results page of the catalog search, click the ellipsis (...) next to the item, and then select Fetch item.
NetVault Backup fetches the item from the backup image in the temporary directory under NetVault home. The request appears on the View Events page.
An alert appears when the request is complete and the restore begins.

Viewing media list

The Media List option on the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page lets you view information about the media items used to store a backup. You can view details about the data segments and index segments for a backup.

To view the media details for a saveset:
1
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select the applicable saveset.
2
In the Saveset Information area, click Media List.
3
In the dialog box that appears, you can view the following details:
•
Backup size: This area shows the total size of the saveset in number of bytes
•
Data segment table: This table shows information about the media items that contain the data segments. You can view the following details: media label, media group label, stream ID, starting byte number, ending byte number, and media location
•
Index segment table: This table shows information about the media items that contain the index segments. You can view the media label and media location.
4
Click Close to close the dialog box.

Renaming and relocating data during restore

To restore a file or directory without overwriting the existing copy, you can rename or relocate the item during restore.

To rename or relocate a file or directory:
1
Complete Step 1 through Step 3 in Restoring data using the plug-in.
2
Select the file or directory that you want to rename or relocate and click Rename.
You cannot rename or relocate the root directory (for example, C:\ or /).
3
In the Rename/Relocate dialog box, provide the following information:
•
Rename: Type a new name for the selected item. When specifying the filename, include the extension. Otherwise, the file is restored with no extension. For example, when renaming the file “old.txt,” if you type “new” in the Rename box, the file is restored without the “.txt” extension.
•
Relocate: Type the full path to the new restore location.
 
* 
NOTE: To rename an item without changing its location, use only the Rename option. To change the restore location without changing the name, use only the Relocate option. Use both options if you want to rename the item and change its location.
Click OK to close the dialog box.
After you close the dialog box, the plug-in updates the corresponding node in the selection tree to display the new name and location for the file or directory.
4
Complete Step 4 through Step 9 in Restoring data using the plug-in.

Restore procedure

Alternatively, click Choose, and in the Choose the Target Client dialog box, select the restore target. Click OK to close the dialog box.
3
Complete Step 8 and Step 9 in Restoring data using the plug-in.
