NetBackup™ for OpenStack Administrator's Guide

Start the File Search and retrieve the results in Horizon

To start a File Search the following elements need to be set:

  • A VM to search in has to be chosen

  • A valid File Path provided

  • At least one snapshot to search in selected

Once those have been set click "Search" to start the file search.

Warning:

Do not navigate to any other Horizon tab or website after starting the File Search. Results are lost and the search has to be repeated to regain them.

After a short time the results will be presented. The results are presented in a tabular format grouped by snapshots and volumes inside the snapshot.

For each found file or folder the following information are provided:

  • POSIX permissions

  • Amount of links pointing to the file or folder

  • User ID who owns the file or folder

  • Group ID assigned to the file or folder

  • Actual size in Bytes of the file or folder

  • Time of creation

  • Time of last modification

  • Time of last access

  • Full path to the found file or folder

Once the snapshot of interest has been identified it is possible to go directly to the snapshot using the "View Snapshot" option at the top of the table. It is also possible to directly mount the snapshot using the "Mount Snapshot" Button at the end of the table.
