Restoring data using the plug-in

The following steps describe how to restore Nutanix Files data using Plug‑in for Nutanix Files.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: To restore access control lists, the backup user specified in the plug-in configuration should have administrator privileges on the Nutanix Files server or in Active Directory.
To restore data using the plug-in:
1
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.
The saveset status is indicated using the following icons.
 
Icon
Description

Saveset is online (all segments are online).

Saveset is partially online (some segments are online).

Saveset is offline (all segments are offline).

The saveset list is sorted alphabetically by saveset name. You can sort the list by a different column or reverse the sort order by clicking the column heading. The arrowhead next to the column name indicates the sort order.
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.
By default, the table is sorted by creation date and time. You can sort the table by one or more columns, as required.
NetVault Plug‑in for Nutanix Files web application supports multiple-column sorting for the tables. However, the first sorted column takes the highest precedence over the sorting of other columns. For example, if the table is sorted by the ‘Start Time’ as the primary sort, selecting sort options on the ‘ID/ Instance/ Phase’ column does not affect the list order.
To sort by a column, click the column header; to change the sort direction, click the column header again. Repeat this step for other columns by which you want to sort the table.
The arrowhead next to the column name indicates the sorting order (up for ascending order and down for descending order). A blue arrowhead is used to indicate the sort order for the primary column.
To remove a sort, click the column header for the corresponding column until the arrowhead is no longer displayed.
To choose the following actions in a column, click the column menu:
 
Option
Description

Sort Ascending

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 search for data items in savesets:
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.
If only non-cataloged savesets are included in the search (or if “Use legacy search method” option is selected), the legacy search is used.
If only cataloged savesets are included in the search (or if “Use legacy search method” option is not selected), the catalog search is used.
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 Plug‑in for Nutanix Files system.
4
Select the items you want to restore. You can only restore items from one saveset.
5
Click Restore selected items.

Complete Step 3 through Step 9 in Restoring data using the plug-in.
