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.

1
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, select the applicable saveset.
2
In the Saveset Information area, click Media List.
In the dialog box that is displayed, 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.

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.
Limitations with file-level restore:
•
No persistent file level index is stored
•
Catalog search is not supported as there is no persistent file level index implemented
 
* 
NOTE: Raw Device Mapping (RDM) disks in virtual compatibility mode are restored to flat “.vmdk” files, not to the original RDM. The alternative is to omit these disks during a restore.
