Restoring data using the plug-in

Table 3. Restore options
Option
Description

NDMP Server

This option specifies the target filer name. It is only required when you want to restore data to an alternate filer. By default, it is set to the name of the original filer from which the data was backed up. Do not change the NDMP Server while restoring data to the same filer.

Direct Access Restore Mode

Select the appropriate DAR mode from the following:

•
Use Direct Access Restore if Possible: To perform a direct-access restore if the backup was direct and the mover and data server can complete a direct-access restore, select this option. If these conditions are not met, a nondirect access restore is performed.
•
Use Direct Access Restore by Recovering Individual Files: To restore a directory and its file contents, select this option. When you use this option, empty directories in the saveset are ignored.
You must select this option if any item was omitted during data selection; otherwise, the restore job fails.
•
Only Do Direct Access Restore: To force a direct-access restore, select this option. It can be only used if the backup was direct and the mover and data server can complete a direct-access restore; otherwise, the restore job fails.
•
Never Do Direct Access Restore: To perform a standard nondirect-access restore, select this option.

Overwrite Existing Files

If you do not want to overwrite the existing files, clear this check box.

 
* 
IMPORTANT:  
•
When individual files are selected for a direct-access restore, their parent-level directory permissions are not restored.
•
When running a direct-access restore, NetVault Backup organizes the restore requests into groups of 1024 files at a time. When a restore job consists of more than 1024 total files, multiple restore requests are issued. So, multiple log entries are displayed for the job.
6
To save the settings, click OK, and then click Next.
7
In Job Name, specify a name for the job.
Assign a descriptive name that lets you easily identify the job for monitoring its progress. The job name can contain alphanumeric and nonalphanumeric characters, but it cannot contain non-Latin characters. There is no length restriction. However, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended on all platforms
In the Target Client list, the client from which data was backed up is selected by default. Do not change this setting.
8
Select or create the Schedule Set, Restore Source Set, and Advanced Options Set.
For more information about these sets, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
9
To submit the job for scheduling, click Submit.
You can monitor the job progress from the Job Status page and view the logs from the View Logs page. For more information about these functions, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

Restoring Incremental Backups

The incremental restores build on each other. To restore an Incremental Backup, you must have all the backups from Level-0 through the last backup in the backup sequence that you want to restore.

1
Restore the Full or Level 0 Backup.
For more information, see Restoring data using the plug-in.
2
Restore each Incremental Backup in the backup sequence, starting with the lowest-level backup and going to the last backup that you want to restore (that is, in the same order in which they were created).
For each dump level, follow the steps outlined in Restoring data using the plug-in.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: All NDMP backups are effectively snapshots of the volume. When you restore a dump level in an increment series, it restores all the data in the saveset. At the same time, it deletes the files present on the filer, but not available in that saveset. Thus, it reconstructs the subtree as it was at the time of backup.
