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.
 
* 
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.

Restoring file-level backups using shared network drives

The procedure for restoring file-level backups to a shared folder on the virtual machine includes the steps outlined in the following sections:

•
Setting up a network share
•
Restoring data

Setting up a network share

To create a network share between the NetVault Client and the target virtual machine, use the following procedure.

To set up a network share
1
On the target virtual machine, configure the sharing properties for a folder.
2
On the NetVault Server, start the Backup Job Wizard, and click next to the Selections list.
3
On the NetVault Selections page, open the NetVault Client on which the plug-in is installed, and then open File System.
4
Click Network Shares, and select Add Network Share from the context menu.
5
In the Add New Network Share dialog box, specify file path for the shared drive in the following format:
\\<IP Address or Resolvable Network Name>\<Share Name>\
6
Click Add to add the network share and close the dialog box.
7
Click Network Shares, and select Connect As from the context menu.
8
In the Connection Details dialog box, provide the following information:
•
Domain: Type the Windows Domain name for the system that contains the shared folders.
•
Username: Type a Domain Administrator user name. The network share backups must be performed using a Domain Administrator account to fully retrieve the file and directory permissions during a restore. A user belonging to the Administrators Group does not have the Domain Administrator privileges.
 
* 
NOTE: If you configure a Non-Domain Administrator account for backups, the file and directory permissions must be set manually after a restore.
•
Password: Type the password for the user account.
9
To save the connection details and close the dialog box, click OK.
