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 Backup Client and the target virtual machine, use the following procedure.

1
On the target virtual machine, configure the sharing properties for a folder.
2
On the NetVault Backup Server, start the Backup Job Wizard, and click next to the Selections list.
3
On the NetVault Backup Selections page, open the NetVault Backup 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.

Restoring data

To restore file-level backups, use the following procedure.

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 by creation date. 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.
2
To filter the saveset list, use the following filter options:
 
Filter
Description

Displays savesets created for particular clients. The default selection is Any.

1
To use this filter, click the Client box.
2
In the Choose Client dialog box, select the clients.
3
To close the dialog box, click OK.

Plugin Type

Displays savesets created using a particular plug-in. The default selection is Any.

1
To use this filter, click the Plugin Type box.
2
In the list, select the plug-in.

Date

Displays savesets created during a specified period. The default selection is Any.

1
To use this filter, click the Date box.
2
In the list, select the option that you want to use.
The available options are Last 24 hours, Last Week, Last Month, Last 6 Months, Last Year, and Any.

Job

Displays savesets created for particular jobs. The default selection is Any.

1
To use this filter, click the Job box.
2
In the Choose Job dialog box, select the jobs.
3
To close the dialog box, click OK.
3
Select the saveset that you want to use, and click Next.
When you select a saveset, the following details are displayed in the Saveset Information area: Job ID, job title, tag, server name, client name, plug-in name, saveset date and time, retirement setting, Incremental Backup or not, archive or not, and saveset size.
4
On the Create Selection Set page, select the files and directories that you want to restore.
 
* 
NOTE: For a regular Incremental or Differential Backup, the selection tree displays all files that were included in the backup sequence — the initial Full Backup and subsequent Incremental or Differential Backups. For a Dump Type Incremental or Differential Backup, the plug-in only displays those files that were backed up in the selected saveset.
5
Click the file or directory that you want to restore, and select Rename from the context menu.
 
* 
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.
6
In the Relocate box, type the network share path.
 
* 
NOTE: If you do not perform Step 5 and Step 6, the data is restored to the NetVault Backup Client and not to the shared folder on the virtual machine.

Click , and configure the following settings:
 
Table 10. Plug-in for FileSystem restore options
Option
Description

Overwrite Newer Files

By default, the plug-in overwrites existing files on the restore destination with the backed-up version in the saveset.

If you do not want to overwrite the existing files, clear this check box.

Reset File Timestamps

By default, timestamps for restored files are reset to what is recorded in the backup saveset.

To restore the files with current timestamp, clear the check box.

Reset Directory Timestamps

By default, directories are restored with current timestamp.

To reset the timestamp to what is recorded in the saveset, select this check box. To use this option, you must also select the Reset File Timestamps check box.

Restore Files Modified During Backup

To restore the files that were marked “in flux” during backup, select this check box.

Path to Restore Log

To generate a restore log file, type the filename. The log file provides a list of files that are selected for a restore. The files that are restored successfully are marked with an “o” and the others are marked with an “x.” If you specify an existing filename, the plug-in overwrites the file. The log file is created in CSV file format, and includes details such as file size, date modified, and file type.

Exclusion List Path

To use an exclusion list, type the full path to the file.

For more information about exclusion lists, see the Quest NetVault Backup Plug-in for FileSystem User’s Guide.

In Job Name, specify a name for the job.
Assign a descriptive name that lets you easily identify the job for monitoring its progress. A job name can contain alphanumeric and nonalphanumeric characters, but it cannot contain non-Latin characters. There is no length restriction. However, a maximum of 40 characters is recommended on all platforms
10
In the Target Client list, verify that the client from which data was backed up is selected.
This client is selected by default. Do not change this setting.
11
Select or create the Schedule Set, Restore Source Set, and Advanced Options Set.
For more information about these sets, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
12
To submit the job for scheduling, click Submit.
You can monitor the job progress from the Job Status page and view the logs from the View Logs page. For more information about these functions, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
 
* 
NOTE: The plug-in restores data to the shared network folder on the virtual machine. You must manually move the restored files to the final target destination.
