Open the NDMP Server, and then open the applicable volume to list the available snapshots.

Restoring data from a snapshot

The restore process for a Snapshot is relatively seamless and only takes a matter of minutes because it is being read locally from the filer’s hard disk.

1
In the Navigation pane, click Create Restore Job, and then click Restore Snapshots.
2
Open the NetVault Backup Server node, and in the list of plug-ins, open NDMP Snapshot Manager to list the added NDMP Servers.
3
Open the NDMP Server, and then open the applicable volume to list the available snapshots.
Important Notes
•
Each time the filer is accessed by NetVault Backup, the Plug‑in for SnapShot Manager first syncs with it to ensure that all Snapshots performed and removed outside of NetVault Backup are recognized. Therefore, all Snapshots present on that filer are displayed in the selection tree, including those Snapshots performed outside of NetVault Backup.
•
Snapshots generated with NetVault Backup are labeled “NV-xxxx”, where “xxxx” represents increments in each snapshot generated.
•
Only one snapshot can be restored at a time. Restoring the snapshot overwrites all data on the selected volume of the filer.
4
Select the snapshot that you want to restore.
If you omit individual items after selecting a snapshot, the job will fail.
5
In Job Title, enter a suitable title for the job.
Specify a detailed title that lets you easily identify the job for monitoring its progress.
6
On the toolbar, click Submit.
Alternatively, on the Accept menu, click Submit Restore.
You can monitor the job progress from the NetVault Backup Jobs window, and view the logs from the NetVault Backup Logs window. For more information about these functions, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
