NetVault Plug-in for NDMP 11.1 - Application Notes for Dell FluidFS

Renaming or relocating data

When restoring a backup, you can rename the directories to create a copy of the data instead of overwriting of the existing versions. You can also relocate the data to a different volume. This procedure can be useful if the original volume is down or if you are dealing with limited bandwidth or capacity.

* 
NOTE: This feature is only available to savesets that were created with the Save File Information option.
To rename or relocate data during restore:
1
Complete Step 1 through Step 4 in Restoring data using the plug-in
2
Select the volume that you want to rename, and in the Actions list, click Rename.
3
In the Restore Rename dialog box, provide the following information:
•
To rename a file or directory, type the new name.
•
To relocate the item to a different volume, type the volume name. You can also rename while relocating by specifying a new path. The volume to which you are relocating must exist.
Click OK to close the dialog box.
After you close the dialog box, the plug-in updates the corresponding node in the selections tree to display the new name and location for the file or directory.

Restoring data from or to a Replica NAS Container

You can use the Plug-in for NDMP to restore data from or to a Replica NAS Container.

To restore data from a Replica NAS Container, restore the data to a regular NAS Container, but verify that you select the Rename option.
For more information, see Renaming or relocating data.

NOTE: If you do not select the Rename option, the restore job fails because the Replica NAS containers are read-only.
