In the Navigation pane, click Create Restore Job.
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, the saveset table provides a list of available savesets. The table shows the saveset name (Job Title and Saveset ID), creation date and time, saveset size, and saveset status.

Saveset is online (all segments are online).

Saveset is partially online (some segments are online).

Saveset is offline (all segments are offline).

You can click Load more to load the next set of records, if available. Each load action fetches a maximum of 5000 records. This button is disabled if there are no more records to load.

When you select a saveset, the following details are displayed in the Saveset Information area: Job ID, job title, tag, server name, client name, plug-in name, saveset date and time, retirement setting, Incremental Backup or not, archive or not, and saveset size.
3
On the Create Selection Set page, select the data that you want to restore:
Restore entire saveset: Select the primary or the root node.
Restore individual items: Open the parent node. Browse through the directory tree, and locate the files that you want to restore. To include a file or a directory, select the corresponding check box. When you select a parent node, all the child items within the node are automatically included in the restore job.
Exclude child items: To exclude a file or directory within a selected parent node, click the corresponding check box to replace the check mark with a cross.
4
On the Create Selection Set page, click Edit Plugin Options, and configure the following options.

Overwrite Newer Files

By default, the plug-in overwrites existing files on the restore destination with the backed-up version in the saveset.

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

Reset File Timestamps

By default, timestamps for restored files are reset to what is recorded in the backup saveset.

To restore the files with current timestamp, clear the check box.

Reset Directory Timestamps

By default, directories are restored with current timestamp.

To reset the timestamp to what is recorded in the saveset, select this check box. To use this option, you must also select the Reset File Timestamps check box.

Attempt to Restore Hard Links

To re-establish the links when you restore hard-linked files, select this option. This check box is only available on the Linux and UNIX OS.

Restore Files Modified During Backup

To restore the files that were marked “in flux” during backup, select this check box.

Path to Restore Log

To generate a restore log file, type the filename. The log file provides a list of files that are selected for a restore. The files that are restored successfully are marked with an “o” and the others are marked with an “x.” If you specify an existing filename, the plug-in overwrites the file. The log file is created in CSV file format (.csv), and includes details such as file size, date modified, and file type.

Exclusion List Path

To use an exclusion list, type the full path to the file.

For more information about exclusion lists, see Exclusion lists.

Restore Meta Data

To restore the metadata on Linux and UNIX systems, select the appropriate option:

Compatible: By default, the plug-in restores the metadata only if it is compatible with the current file system. On Mac OS X, at least one of the following requirements must be met to use this option:
Force: Select this option to force the plug-in to restore the metadata regardless of its compatibility with the current file system. On Mac OS X, the following requirements must be met to use this option:
Discard: If you do not want to restore the metadata, select this option.
5
Click OK to save the settings, and then click Next.
6
On the Create Restore Job page, specify a name for the job. Assign a descriptive name that allows you to easily identify the job for monitoring its progress.
7
In the Target Client list, the client from which data was backed up is selected by default. Do not change this setting.
9
Click Submit to submit the job for scheduling.
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.

Searching for files in savesets

The Search option on the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page allows you to find specific files or data items without opening any savesets or browsing through their contents. You can use filenames or regular expressions to find the data items that you want to restore.

To configure or enable the catalog search, click the bulb icon shown near the Search button on the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page. The catalog search supports the regular expression syntax used by Elasticsearch. For more information on Elasticsearch, see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-regexp-query.html. For more information on catalog search, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

1
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, click Search.
2
In the Search for files in savesets dialog box, configure the following options:
Search String: Type the search string.
Regular expression search: To use POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface for Unix) regular expressions instead of Elasticsearch in the Search String box, select this check box.
Use legacy search method: This check box is displayed if both cataloged and non-cataloged savesets are included in the search.
3
To search the data items in one or more specific savesets, select the desired saveset (s) and click Search. If you do not select any saveset, then all savesets are included in the search. On the Search Results page, you can view the specified files or data items. The following search results page is displayed when catalog search is configured and enabled on your NetVault Backup Plug‑in for FileSystem system.

Click Restore selected items.
